Rail Cutting Machine

Send Enquire Now

A rail cutting machine is an indispensable piece of track maintenance equipment in modern railway construction, maintenance, and emergency repair operations. Also known as a rail cutting saw or abrasive wheel-type rail cutter, it employs a toothless sawing principle, driving a high-speed rotating abrasive wheel to cut the rail through an oscillating motion along a specific trajectory. It features fast cutting speed, high precision, and excellent cut surface quality, meeting the cutting needs of rails of various specifications.

Depending on the power source, rail cutting machines can be classified into internal combustion, electric, hydraulic, and lithium battery types, among others. They are suitable for various scenarios such as ordinary railways, high-speed railways, subways, municipal rail transit, and industrial tracks, and are widely used in track laying, rail replacement, damaged section removal, length adjustment, and emergency repairs. Their cutting efficiency and quality directly affect the progress of railway projects and the safety and stability of line operations.

As a professional railway maintenance equipment manufacturer, AGICO GROUP supplies a full range of rail cutting machines and related railway tools. Our products cover multiple power models and are compatible with various rail types including 43kg/m, 50kg/m, 60kg/m, and 75kg/m. Our equipment offers advantages such as user-friendly operation, strong adaptability, and low wear, and incorporates ergonomic designs equipped with damping devices and protective covers to ensure operational safety and comfort.

AGICO Abrasive Rail Cutting Machine Models

NQG-5III Internal Combustion Rail Cutting Machine

This is AGICO's flagship best-selling model, known for its balanced performance and reliability. It features a high-quality Honda gasoline engine and holds both CRCC and CE certifications, making it a common choice for standard railway permanent way operations. Its modular double-swing structure is robust and relatively portable. With base rollers, it can be moved flexibly both on tracks and roads. As a cable-free device, it operates reliably in various harsh weather conditions and field environments without electricity. The use of universal parts also makes maintenance very convenient.

K1270R Portable Internal Combustion Rail Cutting Machine

This newly upgraded model achieves the ultimate in portability, with a total weight of only 28 kg. Its clever design allows the main unit and the quick-clamping rail assembly to be separated, enabling easy carrying and placement on the rail by a single person. It is particularly suitable for situations requiring rapid response and frequent relocation, such as emergency repairs of broken rails on seamless lines. While ensuring fast cutting speed (≤120 seconds), it provides clear cutting accuracy specifications (perpendicularity ≤ 0.40mm), achieving a balance between lightweight design and high performance.

QG-4II Electric Abrasive Rail Cutting Machine

This is the preferred choice for focusing on environmental protection and operational safety. Electric motor drive fundamentally avoids the exhaust emissions and explosion risks associated with internal combustion engines while significantly reducing noise. It is especially suitable for use in enclosed or sensitive environments such as subway tunnels, urban areas, or indoors. It incorporates multiple safety features, including a protective guard, an overheating protection system, and an emergency stop switch. Its innovative "toothless saw" swing mechanism reduces the contact length between the cutting wheel and the rail, effectively improving grinding wheel utilization and work efficiency.

Advantages of Rail Cutter

Revolutionary Cutting Efficiency

Industry-leading cutting speed: Utilizing an optimized power transmission system, cutting a standard 60kg/m rail takes only 3–4 minutes, improving efficiency by over 50% compared to traditional equipment.

Quick installation system: Patented clamping device enables secure fixation of the equipment onto the rail within 90 seconds, with no special tools required.

Continuous operation capability: Enhanced cooling system allows the machine to perform over 15 standard cuts consecutively without needing to cool down.

Military-Grade Cutting Precision

Ultra-precise guidance system: Dual linear guides combined with precision ball screws achieve cutting surface perpendicularity error ≤ 0.3mm and flatness of Ra ≤ 12.5μm.

Intelligent depth control: Digital cutting depth preset and display system prevents over-cutting or insufficient cutting.

Vibration suppression technology: Active damping system reduces operational vibration by 70%, ensuring a smooth and precise cutting process.

Unmatched Durability

Extended core component lifespan: Main shaft bearings use Swedish SKF heavy-duty series with a design life of 10,000 hours; gears undergo carburizing and quenching, increasing wear resistance by threefold.

Full-condition adaptability: Equipment tested for cold starts at -30°C and continuous operation at +55°C, suitable for various global climate conditions.

Enhanced anti-corrosion treatment: Key structural components undergo triple anti-corrosion treatment (galvanizing + coating + sealing), ensuring long-term use in damp or saline-alkali environments.

Intelligent Operational Experience

Ergonomic design: Operating force reduced by 40%, with adjustable control handle height and angle to suit operators of different statures.

Status Monitoring System (High-end Model): Real-time display of cutting parameters and equipment status, equipped with fault self-diagnosis and early warning functions

Safety interlock protection: Multiple safety protection devices ensure automatic shutdown under abnormal conditions, safeguarding both operators and equipment.
