In the railway sector, the balancing of wheels, shafts, and axles is essential to ensure safety, performance, and long-term durability. Unbalanced rotating parts can cause vibrations that compromise vehicle stability, accelerate component wear, and lead to costly downtime.

To address these needs, EBS has developed a dedicated range of balancing machines, engineered for high-precision operations on all major railway rotating components.

R5K-GR-VS – Horizontal Balancing Machine for Complete Railway Axles
Designed for automatic balancing of fully assembled axles up to 5000 kg, with wheels mounted. Key features include:

  • ⁠Automated loading and unloading
  • Geometrical measurement via laser sensors on anthropomorphic robot
  • ⁠Unbalance measurement via cardan shaft or motorized rubber rollers
  • ⁠Controlled by Siemens PLC with custom robotic architecture

VR1K – Vertical Balancing Machine for Railway Wheels
Ideal for balancing disassembled railway wheels, available in:

  • ⁠Semi-automatic version: manual positioning with assisted correction
  • Fully automatic version: with robotic wheel loading and unloading

Both configurations offer precise measurement, integrated correction, and are ready for in-line production integration.

Digital Solutions and Regulatory Compliance
All EBS systems support:

  • ⁠Remote assistance (via AnyDesk or Ubiquity)
  • Real-time monitoring with EBS Balancing Portal
  • Compliance with EU cybersecurity regulations, including:
    – NIS2 Directive (mandatory compliance by October 17, 2024)
    – Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) (full enforcement by 2027, early compliance recommended)

Conclusion
With deep expertise in the field and a focus on customization, EBS delivers reliable and advanced railway balancing solutions, ensuring precision, efficiency, and safety in both manufacturing and maintenance environments.
