K920 Mobile Rail Welding Machines

K920Mobile Rail Welding Machine

K920 is a mobile flash-butt rail welding machine for field welding of rails with a cross-sectional area of 6,500–10,000 mm². It supports continuous and pulsed flashing and immediate flash removal, with a higher force class than the K900.

Technology & System Architecture

K920 performs flash-butt welding with continuous or pulsed flashing. The programmed cycle controls heating, flashing and hydraulic upsetting for repeatable field welding.

Clamping & Alignment
Hydraulic clamping and upsetting are transmitted through the machine lever system. The clamping geometry is designed to maintain stable rail positioning during upsetting.

Removal of excess upset
Removal of excess upset immediately after welding around the rail profile. Side-blade adjustment allows the finished reinforcement to be set

Control & Quality
Siemens control architecture provides welding-process setting, actuator and electrical-system monitoring and real-time process information. WeldReg records welding-mode and joint data in supported configurations.

Cooling & Hydraulics
The machine uses a closed cooling circuit with coolant-flow monitoring. The complete machine includes the matched 21 MPa hydraulic system, pumping station and cooling equipment.
