Rail Welding Equipment

A-Frame Rail Aligner CR57 and CR61

The A-Frame Rail Aligner ensures the precise alignment of rails before aluminothermic welding and holds them in position throughout the welding operation. In doing so, it increases the operator’s safety, as well as ensuring perfect weld geometry.

Modification of the Rail Aligner’s jaws enable it to be used for all rail types, including vignole, crane rails and grooved rails. Two models are available: the CR57 is ideal for use in Fast Clip set-ups, while the CR61 can be used with any types of sleepers and fastening systems.

Technical Features

  • The A-frame is made from aluminium alloy, which combines light weight with high mechanical resistance.
  • The A-Frame Rail Aligner is equipped with a height and inclination tool, which allows the user to set the rail with ease before aluminothermic welding.
  • The device is compact, making it easy to transport, set up and use.
  • Adjustment screws enable the user to carry out accurate rail adjustment, including lateral alignment and twist.
  • The CR57 model is ideal for use in Fast Clip set-ups, while the CR61 can be used with any types of sleepers and fastening systems.
  • The A-Frame Rail Aligner is suitable for use with all kinds of rails: vignole, crane rails, MRS and grooved rails.

Advantages

  • The A-Frame Rail Aligner’s robust, heavy duty construction ensures maximum reliability and reduces maintenance costs.
  • Adjustment screws enable precise alignment and adjustment of the A-frame and result in accurate welding geometry.
  • The A-frame stays precisely in position throughout use, enhancing the welder’s safety.
  • The device’s height and inclination tool makes preparing for welding fast, effi cient and easy.
  • The compact size and lightweight design of the A-Frame Rail Aligner make it easy to transport and set up.
  • The equipment is extremely versatile, suitable for use with all kinds of rails and both wooden and concrete sleepers.
