Double - Ended Turnout Grinding Robot

The Double-Ended Turnout Grinding Robot is an innovative, independently developed solution addressing a longstanding pain point in railway maintenance: blind spots in traditional turnout grinding. While conventional grinding equipment covers most track areas, turnout structures (with their complex point rails and fork sections) often leave unground or inadequately ground zones—leading to accelerated wear, noisy operations, and safety risks. This robot eliminates those blind spots by targeting the switch and fork components of turnouts with precision. Key selling points include dual grinding heads for enhanced efficiency, automated control for consistent accuracy, modular design for easy upgrades, and lithium-battery power for eco-friendly, reliable operations. With a standard quantity of 1 unit, it is a game-changer for turnout maintenance, ensuring smoother track surfaces and extended turnout service life.

Special maintenance of railway turnout areas, repair of blind spots of traditional equipment, maintenance of of highly worn lines, acceptance and polishing of key parts of newly built lines, etc.

• Blind spot repair: Fixing unground areas left by traditional grinding equipment (e.g., the root of point rails, fork section transitions).

• High-wear line maintenance: Restoring worn turnout components (e.g., removing fish scale patterns, peeling blocks, or uneven wear on point rails).

• New line acceptance: Polishing key turnout parts (e.g., stock rail working edges) to meet operational standards before new lines open.

• Regular turnout upkeep: Maintaining switch and fork sections of mainline railways, subways, and mining rails—supporting customized track gauge adaptations for all three sectors.

                

The specific functions are as follows:      

Grinding of the switch part: eliminate the flash on the active/non-active surface of the point rail and the working edge of the stock rail, and repair the wear problems of the point rail and stock rail such as fish scale pattern, peeling block, poor light band, etc.

                 

Grinding of the turnout fork section:        

Point rail: eliminate flash, block drop, scratch, fish scale pattern, poor light band and uneven wear, and improve the maintenance accuracy of the turnout area through segmented and layered operations.
