Technical Excellence
The core competence of Güdel railway automation solutions consists of its gantry systems and gripper technology. Güdel’s modular gantries are capable of almost all kinds of payloads and applications. The 2-axis gantry ZP-7 and 3-axis gantry FP-7 are especially suitable for railway solutions, with high dynamic and heavy payload of more than 3000 kg in standard. Our inhouse designed high performance gripper portfolio covers a wide range of railway-specific applications. Our standard wheel grippers are capable of rotating and swivelling the wheel and can be adjusted to different loading angle configurations. In addition, we have developed hot wheel grippers which can handle railway wheels with up to 950 °C. Our standard axle grippers are able to rotate and to move the axles laterally for side loadings. Furthermore, we are also able to handle the complete wheel sets.

The considerable weight of railway wheels plays a significant role in their handling. With the use of special grippers, parts weighing up to 1,200 kg can be gripped and turned through 180° in spite of any deformations. We can also work with you to find suitable solutions for other challenges in this or similar areas.
