The railway industry is one of the main consumers of cutting tools and ISCAR
is increasing its role as a supplier of complex projects for this key
sector.
These incorporate essential elements to fulfil the need for layout
solutions, efficient productivity, and a reduction in machining time and
costs – all demanding a large variety of both standard and tailor-made
solutions. Machining railway parts represents a challenge for manufacturers
and cutting tool producers alike, who must contend with a host of
constraints - such as the relatively large workpieces, complex structures,
and complicated final machined profile - along with the need to remove a
large volume of material, ensure predictable tool life, and avoid high
maintenance costs. The railway industry has played an important role in the
past two decades becoming one of the leading means of transportation for
freight and passengers. Ongoing investments in modern railway track
infrastructure has opened a new edge to high-speed transportation
mobility.
In addition, the environmental advantages offered in railway transportation
is expanding railway traffic awareness. To keep up with the growing demands
in this heavy metalworking industry, ISCAR has developed special machining
expertise for railway components with innovative cutting tools and robust
carbide grades.
