A portable rail weld milling machine apparatus comprises a metal frame that incorporates a motor with a rotary carbide tool that is able to lock to a rail or rails for stability. The apparatus houses the required guides and motors to maneuver the tool on a plurality of axes with computer numerical control (CNC). The CNC programming is able to control the carbide tool such that the welded rail can be milled to proper profile on the entire running surface, including the top, the field side, and the gauge side of the ball of the rail.

A device for milling a profile of a rail track intended for rail-bound vehicles includes at least one milling body that is capable of being driven in a rotationally movable manner about an axis of rotation, and a plurality of cutting plates attached to the at least one milling body. At least some of the cutting plates are capable of being pretensioned non-positively for fixing in a respective receiver by at least one clamping body against an abutment as a stop. The at least some of the cutting plates are capable of being deflected in the respective receiver in a radial and/or axial direction by an adjusting means and are capable of being fixed in an adjusted position by the clamping body. The adjusting means is configured to be movable and/or deformable by a pressure transmission fluid.

A cutting tool assembly for milling a rail top, includes a first section and a second section mounted to the first section. Each section includes a plurality of insert-receiving pockets for receiving a plurality of different types of cutting inserts. The plurality of different types of cutting inserts are arranged in a plurality of helical teeth that may be separated by a helical chip flute. In one embodiment, a first type of cutting insert is formed with a radius, R, a second type of cutting insert is formed with a radius, R1, and a third type of cutting insert is formed with a radius, R2, to perform a milling operation on three different areas of the rail top.

The present disclosure relates to a rail vehicle that includes a chassis and a rail milling assembly coupled to the chassis. The rail milling assembly includes a bracket for coupling the rail milling assembly to the chassis and a milling workhead forming a portion of the rail milling assembly. The milling workhead including a spindle and a cutter depending downwardly from the spindle. The spindle and cutter are driven by a spindle motor. The milling workhead further includes a cylinder rod disposed between the spindle motor and the spindle to thereby bias the cutter towards the rail during operation.

An apparatus includes a milling member capable of being driven in a rotational manner, and a plurality of blade carriers attached to the milling member. Each blade carrier has a blade for chip-removing processing of a profile. A first group of blade carriers is capable of being moved relative to the milling member. Each movable blade carrier is arranged so as to be able to be radially deflected on the milling member by an actuation member during a rotating movement of the milling member. The actuation member cyclically comes into contact with a formation of the blade carrier. In a first functional position, exclusively the blades of the first group of movable blade carriers of a track path move into engagement with the profile. In a second functional position, exclusively blades of a second group of blade carriers of the same track path move into engagement with the profile.
