Electric point machines HW(E)60 - Basic

To be able to perform commissioning, regular inspection and repair work, transport authority staff need sound knowledge of the point machines deployed.

Participants are first given a theoretical overview of the set-up and application area of the different drive variants of the point machines HW(E)60; the function of the individual sub-assemblies and the safety requirements are explained.

Maintenance work and inspection per BO Strab call for assessment of the point machines. Participants are informed what to look out for.

In the practical element of this basic workshop, assembly and setting work are demonstrated on a point machine installed in a tongue device. A flat-bottom /grooved rail tongue device is availaible in our training centre for the purpose.

Protective footwear must be worn when doing setting /adjusting work. Please bring your protective footwear with you.

This workshop conveys fundamental information on the point machine HW(E)60 and is also ideal to build on existing knowledge.
