In the long rail plant, flash butt welding is the preferred method for joining individual short rails to form long, continuous rail strands of 500 meters or more. The aim is the industrial prefabrication of high-quality continuous welded rails with exactly reproducible welds and high accuracy in alignment. Our stationary GAAS80 welding system offers high process stability and precise control and enables seamless quality control.
Flash butt welding is always used in the turnout factory to precisely join rail components made of different high-quality materials and to prefabricate complete turnout systems. The process enables precisely fitting and low-stress connections with high dimensional accuracy – essential for the complex geometries of turnouts. Our stationary GAA100 rail welding system guarantees consistent quality, documented processes and compliance with applicable standards.
The flash butt welding process is used for high-quality track sections in order to join rails without gaps during new construction or replacement. It is typically used to join new rail sections directly on the construction site. Our mobile rail welding machines guarantee the required accuracy and welding quality. In addition, our systems are robust and user-friendly and meet the currently required standards.
