Wheel Set Maintenance: Wheel Truing 101
Wheel sets around the world are maintained by metal cutting machine tools that remove surface defects and return the wheel to the proper tolerance for safe and efficient operation. This process, which is called “wheel truing”, has been utilized for decades to extend the life of wheel sets and maintain the optimal wheel profile. In this session, you will learn about the history of the milling machining process, its place in maintenance operations, and what innovations to the technology are being implemented to keep pace with the changing industry.
