Manual point machines HWU40 and HWU42 - Basic

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

The differences between operating modes throw-over and spring-back operation are explained; conversion from one to the other is demonstrated in the hands-on part of the workshop.

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