This machine is an addition to a local RR wheel shop where railway car wheels are built and re-conditioned.
Before retirement I had upgraded the machine processing line via CNC and PLC systems that is carried out prior to this final step where the wheel bearings are pressed on to the axle.
These machines were for re-boring and re-profiling worn wheels and then pressing wheels onto the axles after measurement of the journals.
The bearing press process shown was the last manual process to be converted.
