Railway automation

Railway test machines have to apply a known load, measure the result accurately and record every test.

RB Automation supplies the automation products and custom software that railway test machine builders and sleeper plants use to do this: PLCs and HMIs for the test sequence, pressure transmitters to measure hydraulic load, AC drives for pumps and vibrators, laser sensors for elongation, temperature sensors for steam curing, and custom software for test records.

The products below are grouped by type, and each group lists the machines it is used in: sleeper bending tests, cube, beam and pullout testing machines, auto tensioning and elongation measurement, vibration control and steam curing units. We also build the control panels and custom software that tie these products together.

Railway Testing Machines We Supply Automation For

The automation products each machine uses. Open any product to see the full range.

01

Sleeper Bending Test

Loads a concrete sleeper to test its bending strength. A pressure transmitter measures the hydraulic load, and the PLC and software record the result.

Products used
PLC HMI Pressure Transmitter AC Drive Custom Software Control Panel
02

Cube Testing Machine

Crushes concrete cubes to check compressive strength. A pressure transmitter measures the load, and the software records the peak value.

Products used
PLC HMI Pressure Transmitter AC Drive Custom Software Control Panel
03

Auto Tensioning Machine

Tensions the prestressing wires in a sleeper mould. A pressure transmitter measures the jack pressure, and the PLC stops at the set tension.

Products used
PLC HMI Pressure Transmitter Custom Software Control Panel
04

Elongation with Tensioning Machine

Measures how far each wire stretches while it is tensioned. A laser sensor measures the elongation.

Products used
Laser Sensor
05

Vibration Control Unit

Compacts concrete in sleeper moulds by vibration. AC drives set the vibrator speed, and the PLC runs the vibration cycle.

Products used
PLC HMI AC Drive Custom Software Control Panel
06

Beam Testing Machine

Loads a concrete beam to test its strength. A pressure transmitter measures the load, and the software records the result.

Products used
PLC HMI AC Drive Custom Software Pressure Transmitter Control Panel
07

Pullout Testing Machine

Pulls an anchor or insert out of concrete to test its hold. A pressure transmitter and a digital pressure gauge measure the pulling force.

Products used
PLC HMI Pressure Transmitter Digital Pressure Gauge Control Panel
08

Steam Curing Unit

Cures concrete sleepers with steam. Temperature sensors hold the curing temperature, and the PLC runs the curing cycle.

Products used
PLC HMI Temperature Sensor Custom Software Control Panel

FAQs

Railway Automation: FAQs

They use a PLC and HMI for the test sequence, pressure transmitters to measure the hydraulic load, AC drives for pumps, and custom software to record results. RB Automation supplies the products and writes the software.

Yes. We develop custom software that records each test result from the PLC, for sleeper bending, cube, beam and tensioning machines.

A laser distance sensor measures how far the wire moves as it is tensioned, and the PLC records the value.

A heavy duty or general purpose pressure transmitter rated above the maximum hydraulic pressure suits most test machines. Share the pressure range and we will recommend an RB XSENSE or Baumer model.

Yes. We design and build PLC control panels with the HMI, drives and wiring for a railway test machine. If you build panels in-house, we supply the products separately.

Yes. We are based in Ahmedabad and supply railway test machine builders across Gujarat and India. Call +91 8511104864 or send your requirement and we call back during business hours.

There is no single price for railway industry automation products. The cost depends on which PLC, HMI, servo or stepper system, AC drive, sensor and transmitter your machine needs, on the ratings and communication protocol you select, and on the order quantity, so RB Automation quotes every requirement individually. Send your machine details or bill of material through the inquiry form on this page, call +91 8511104864 or email contact@rbautomate.com to get a current quotation.

RB Automation supplies railway industry automation products from Ahmedabad to machine builders, OEMs and plants across Gujarat and India. As an authorised Schneider Electric partner and an authorised technical partner of Rtelligent, we supply the PLC, HMI, AC drives, servo and stepper systems, sensors and transmitters for one machine from a single source, so you do not have to buy each part from a different dealer. Visit E 206, Ganesh Glory 11, Jagatpur Road, off SG Highway, Jagatpur, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 382470, call +91 8511104864 or email contact@rbautomate.com to place an order or ask for a quotation.
