Continuous polishing of rails at public railway transport tracks.
Polishing of railheads and switch elements is an effective way of eliminating a whole range of rail surface defects and simultaneous restoring of rolling surface alignment. Occasional and timely polishing extends the rail service life, significantly increases the smoothness of movement, and reduces the noise and vibration level.
Such works are performed using the modern highly efficient equipment like VM 8000-E autonomous double line-grinding machine.
