Rail Welding Equipment

Battery-Operated Weld Shear EMB1/EMB2/EMB2 RAG

Pandrol’s battery-operated weld shearing machines are designed for the easy removal of excess metal following an aluminothermic weld.

Battery-Operated Weld Shears product overview

The shearing process takes place after mould release. The battery-operated weld shearers are available in two versions:

  • EMB1 – a narrow model, for Vignole rails, ideal for use in tunnels and closed environments
  • EMB2 – a wider unit, for Vignole rails, which is more comfortable for use when shearing through the mould.
  • EMB2 RAG – a wider unit, for Grooved rails, which is more comfortable for use when shearing through the mould.
  • These machines are rigid, powerful and designed to consistently deliver fast and accurate results. They are compatible with vignole and double-head rails.

PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET

Benefits of the Battery-Operated Weld Shear EMB1 - EMB2

01

Autonomous

The battery-operated shearing machine is fully autonomous, providing flexibility and freedom in the working environment.

02

No emissions

The machine does not produce emissions, so can be used in tunnels and closed environments. The narrow design of the EMB1 makes it particularly suitable for this.

03

Accurate

The shearing operation is extremely accurate, thanks to the adjustability of the blades and the guiding rollers.

04

Increased quality

The accuracy of adjustments means that 2mm of weld metal can be left above the running surface, so the quality of profile grinding is not impaired.

05

Maximised uptime

The shear is quick and powerful, minimising the time spent grinding the rail and maximising uptime.

06

Safe

The machine is safe to use. It is lightweight and easy for two people to pick up and place on the rail. The upper positioning of the handles protects hands from the heat.

Technical features of the Battery-Operated Weld Shear EMB1 - EMB2

01

Battery operated

The shearing machines are powered by two batteries, using lithium HD technology. There is no carbon emission during operation. Battery autonomy allows for more than 12 shearing operations before the batteries need to be recharged.

02

Hydraulic cylinder

The shearer is fitted with two hydraulic cylinders that are able to produce a force of 21 metric tons under a pressure of 250 bars.

03

Fully adjustable, hydraulic blades

Two hydraulically-operated blades on either side of the weld move and cut off the excess metal. Five types of blades are available, all adapted to different vignole rail profiles. Screws are used to adjust the blades’ height, lateral position and stroke

04

Retractable locking system

A retractable locking system, fixed under the rail head, prevents the shearing machine from rising up in use.

05

Manual control lever

A manual lever controls a hydraulic distributor that allows the blades to move.

06

Compact and lightweight

The shearing machine comes in one piece and is lightweight – around 60kg.
