The revolutionary CNC Low Profile Locomotive Wheel Lathe from Delta Manufacturing is the precise, portable, and affordable solution to locomotive wheel truing. The CNC Wheel Lathe eliminates the cost of shipping wheel sets or an entire locomotive to a reconditioning facility. It reduces the downtime associated with wheel maintenance programs and is a fraction of the cost of an under-floor system. The Delta Lathe is fast, precise and safe. The CNC Wheel Lathe provides an accurate profile that can be used in a shop or in the field. Truing a set of wheels will take approximately 4–6 hours to complete depending on the condition of the wheels. This is a relatively short time to recondition an entire 4 or 6 axle locomotive, which gives you the opportunity to schedule your wheel maintenance often, and in turn, lengthen the life of your wheels and prevent expensive violations and fines. In the field, you have the ability to take Delta's portable wheel lathe to a disabled locomotive that has flat spots and re-profile the wheels at that location. Delta's wheel lathe will re-profile your wheels to help avoid damages to the track and switches. Once you multiply the savings per locomotive by your entire fleet, you will definitely see the quick payback of the initial investment and long-term savings this wheel lathe will provide your company.
