This SIL4 certified, perfectly formed point machine with a facing lock point is a robust and compact construction as well as being low maintenance and cost-effective.
 
It is normally mounted in the ‘four foot’ although with special arrangements can be mounted in the ‘six foot’. It is equipped with an internal mechanical locking system, complete with a facing point lock, therefore common external locking systems are no longer required. Point Detection is achieved with independent point blade detection using dual micro switches for each point blade.
 
Due to its short height, the point machine can be fitted without adaptation to existing track systems and no additional drilling is required. The machine mounted in this arrangement has the added benefit of increasing on-site safety by reducing trip hazards within the walking route.
 
With conventional point machines the rail moves with the weight of each axle passing over the turnout, which over time creates opposing forces on a point machine leading to mechanical failure. The mounting arrangements on the Pintsch Wolber Machine enables the machine to perform in unison to the track when train movements are present such that the machine becomes mechanically part of the rail system as mounting bars tie the machine to the rail rather than the sleeper, therefore ensures proper track alignment and reduces the strain on the points.
 
The machine can be installed, tested and commissioned in under two hours, saving considerable time and cost on site compared to rival machines.
 
Perfect for any train facility, available now from Fenix Rail Systems.

The future of rail is here today!
