Production of locomotives
The experience of production of electric locomotives at Ural Locomotives has more than 15 years. The factory capacity allows to produce up to 360 sections of freight locomotives per year.
The production process begins with the preparation of parts made of sheet and shaped rolled metal, which are cut out on specialized installations with subsequent machining. Finished sets of parts are sent for welding.
The roofs of electric locomotives are assembled and welded on specialized stands. The frame and walls of the body are exposed using precise measuring instruments, after which the roof, the cabin of the electric locomotive and the inner part of the body frame are mounted. Then the walls are sheathed with steel sheets. The use of welding stands improves the quality and speed of work. After welding is completed, the body and individual components of the future electric locomotive are transferred for painting.
The painting production of locomotives is a complex of closed chambers in which the parts of an electric locomotive are pretreated, painted and dried. Surface preparation, priming and application of enamel layers with paint sprayers are carried out under controlled temperature and humidity conditions supported by gas equipment.
To ensure uninterrupted serial production of electric locomotives, two production lines are organized in production, where one section of the locomotive is assembled daily. Here, equipment is gradually installed under the body, in the body and on the roof, as well as trolleys are rolled under the locomotive section. Work on different sites is carried out in parallel, and a modular approach is applied at the plant. Due to the interchangeability of the modules, the time for both the assembly of the electric locomotive and its future repair is reduced.
Factory tests of locomotives are carried out on the company's own electrified tracks. Checking the tightness of the body, the operability of all electric locomotive systems and its preparation for transfer to the customer is carried out at the test station.
