1.0. SCOPE OF WORK

1.1 This specification specifies the user requirements for the purchasing of a new under

floor wheel lathe for Transnet Engineering in South Africa. Under floor wheel lathes

are used primarily for the profiling of rolling stock wheels while they remain fitted to

the vehicle.

1.2 It involves the purchase, installation and commissioning of a new under floor lathe

including a maintenance plan during the guarantee period.

1.3 The full design requirement for the foundation of the new under floor lathe is to be

provided.

1.4 The tenderer must indicate compliance to each item in the checklist in Appendix E and

submit it with the tender.

1.5 A shunting vehicle to be used to move locomotives in and around the under floor lathe

facility shall be supplied together with the under floor lathe. Such vehicles are

typically, but not necessarily, battery operated. The shunting vehicle shall have the

ability to be remote controlled to allow the lathe operator to accurately position

locomotives on the lathe. The shunting vehicle shall be interlocked with the lathe to

ensure that the two machines work together safely.

1.6 A shaving crusher and conveyor to transport crushed shaving out of the building shall

be supplied.

1.7 The purchased under floor lathe must have the following general capabilities:

1.7.1 Ability to verify calibration, and if necessary calibrate the measuring system in the

under floor lathe. This includes the supply of a suitable calibration (standard)

wheelset.

1.7.2 The under floor lathe must be able to accommodate a single "loose" wheelset or

wheelsets mounted to a locomotive. The lathe must be able to accommodate any

Transnet locomotive. The nominal rail gauge is 1065 mm. Axle load of up to 30 000

kg per axle should be accommodated. Locomotive details pertaining to wheel

profiling will be supplied upon request.

1.7.3 Reliable and accurate measurement of the wheel profile of both wheels on the

same wheelset, prior to and after profiling. A general measurement accuracy of

±0.05 mm or better is required.

1.7.4 Calculate the necessary machining based on the pre-machining measurements

and the specific locomotive type constraints.

Doc Number: PD_PDWL_NAT_URS_039 Revision: 00 Page: 6 Classification: External Use

1.7.5 Store and report all wheelset geometric measurements including pre-machining,

post-machining and calibration verification measurements.

1.7.6 All measurement data must be stored on a PC with windows 10 operating systems

in a SQL lite database from where data can be exported to an excel file.

1.7.7 Data transfer via a computer network cable and wireless connection must be

ensured.

1.7.8 Measurement reports are to be printed just after measurement or later from the

database with the printer to be supplied.

1.7.9 The under floor lathe should achieve the results stipulated in document

RSE/TE/SPC/0045 (latest revision) or better. Currently the minimum operating

procedure for under floor lathes in Transnet is given in document BBG9729 (latest

revision). It is expected that the new under floor lathe operation shall not deviate

significantly from this procedure.

1.7.10 Must operate on AC voltage of 380V, 3 phases, 50 Hz power supply. Tenderer shall

supply information of complete power usage.

1.7.11 All electrical connections and conduits shall be of steel.

1.7.12 The under floor lathe must be equipped with an electric surge protection to

protect the system against voltage spikes.

1.7.13 The CNC control system must be equipped with a battery back-up system in the

event of unplanned power failures that will provide adequate power for a period

of time and keep the program in its memory in order to enable back-ups in the

event of unplanned power failures.

1.8 The Technical performance and effectiveness of the maintenance service during the

guarantee period shall be closely monitored by Transnet Engineering.

1.9 Explicitly excluded from the requirements are:

1.9.1 Measuring and machining of brake disks.

1.9.2 Measuring and machining of wagon wheels while these are still fitted on the

vehicle.

1.9.3 Machining the back-of-flange surface of the wheel.

contracted to supply Transnet Engineering with the new under floor lathe, according

to this specification.

2.2 WHEEL PROFILE: The Wheel/Type profile shall mean the wheel/type transverse tread

contour as defined by Transnet Freight Rail (Technology Management). The wheel

profiles currently in use are attached in Appendix B.

2.3 TAPING LINE: The taping line is the position on the wheel profile at which the wheel

diameter is measured. Currently it is defined as being 82.5 mm to the field side of the

back-of-flange. (The general standard which is not applicable in Transnet is 70.0 mm

to the field side of the back-of-flange.)

2.4 WHEELSET: A wheelset is a pair of wheels that are mounted on the same axle.

2.5 FOUNDATIONS: Shall mean the foundation designed to support the under floor lathe.

3.0 GENERAL OPERATION OF THE UNDER FLOOR LATHE:

3.1 OPERATIONAL HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1.1 The under floor lathe shall comply with all relevant local, regional and national

health, safety and environmental laws, rules and regulations. Any additions to the

regulations (such as dust extraction and filtration) shall be supplied as an integral

part of the under floor lathe.

3.1.2 The under floor lathe shall comply with all relevant Transnet health, safety and

environmental standards.

3.1.3 All access covers, doors, safety guards and related safety features on the under

floor lathe shall be interlocked to prevent operation of the machine if any of these

safety barriers are not in place.

3.1.4 All aspects of the under floor lathe will be designed in such a way as to provide the

operator and other people working with and around the machine with as safe a

working environment as possible.

3.2 OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

floor lathe, the wheelset will be rolled into position on the lathe after which the

wheelset can be clamped for machining. "loose" wheelsets to be machined on the

under floor lathe will be fitted with package type roller bearings. The clamping

system should not cause damage to the wheel before, during or after the profiling

process.

wheelset is placed on the machine until the time that is can be removed from the

machine and the printed measurement report is available.

4.3.5 All necessary clamps to lift or clamp locomotives or wheelsets on the machine for

machining shall be provided by the machine supplier.

4.4 Wheel profile machining

this will lead to an unsafe situation or damage of the wheelset or the machine.

4.4.3 The three wheel profiles currently being used in Transnet are given in Appendix B.

These profiles shall be stored in the machine to be used as the basis for wheelset

machining. Provision should be made for the addition of further profiles should

this become necessary in future.
