The UM-S 2001 track-renewal train operates according to the MATISA-SPITZKE renewal method, named after the Swiss manufacturer of the machine. It enables the continuous renewal of tracks with different forms of sleepers. The UM-S 2001 copies the old track set and/or recreates it in a continuous operation according to the design geometry. Its efficiency guarantees minimised track possession periods.
Functional Characteristics
Rail and sleeper replacement with high renewal rates
Very short linking and separation times (30 and 45 min respectively)
Work in minimum radii
Renewal of timber, concrete and steel sleepers and double sleepers
Gentle handling of new materials (rails, sleepers)
No need for tamping; after the renewal the track can be travelled on at 70 km/h (trials currently underway)
Automatic guidance computerised for track and cant gradient change
Documentation of position of track re. relative difference in rail levels, longitudinal level, twist and versed sine and recording of sleeper spacing by 6-channel recorder with automatic monitoring
Correction control for height, direction, track cant
Copy of the old track geometry or creation of new design geometry in one single operation
Biologically degradable hydraulic oil
Low-emission dieel engines
