A method for deep roll peening a workpiece includes deep roll peening a workpiece by moving the workpiece along a feed path through multiple groups of opposed rollers that are arranged in series. Each group of opposed rollers includes a rim that defines a workpiece engagement surface that exerts a deep roll peening force on the workpiece. A deep roll peening system includes multiple groups of opposed rollers. Each of the opposed rollers is rotatably mounted and has a rim that defines a workpiece engagement surface. The workpiece engagement surfaces are spaced apart from each other by a gap. The groups are arranged in series such that the gaps define a feed path for receiving a workpiece into serial contact with the workpiece engagement surfaces.

The invention concerns a rolling unit for machining the wheel running surfaces of wheelsets for rail vehicles, with the rolling unit featuring at least one work roller by means of which the wheel running surface to be machined is subjected to a deep rolling process following manufacture of the wheelset in new condition or, at a later date, after reprofiling to increase the service life of the wheel running surfaces. The task is solved to create a relevant rolling unit by means of which the wheel running surfaces can be deep-rolled in the forward feed process using work rollers. This task is solved by the rolling unit featuring a base body on which a support arm is located in a vertical position to the base area, on which a receptacle is supported that is unilaterally fixed in position via a thread in the support arm and on which an angular contact ball bearing is located; this supports at least one work roller featuring at least two different rolling radii.

Internal and external screw thread burnishing assemblies are provided. In the internal screw thread burnishing assembly, diametrically opposed removable cartridges carrying burnishing wheels are received in cavities of a support structure axially movable into the space circumscribed by the internal screw thread. Fluid pressure is utilized to forcibly translate the cartridges radially outwardly to place their burnishing wheels into burnishing engagement with the internal screw thread, with a spring structure resiliently biasing the cartridges toward retracted orientations thereof within the support structure. In the external screw thread burnishing assembly, burnishing wheels are carried on the outer ends of pivotally supported arms which may be pivoted by fluid pressure to drive the burnishing wheels into burnishing engagement with diametrically opposite portions of the external screw thread, with a spring structure resiliently biasing the arms pivotally away from one another.

A roll body for a hydrostatic rolling tool includes a center, an axis of rotation running through the center, and a machining zone for rolling a workpiece. The roll body is rotatable about the axis of rotation and the machining zone has a working profile line formed in a cross-section of the roll body. The working profile line has a first working arc extending around a first machining center and a second working arc extending around a second machining center. The first machining center is arranged offset to the center, and the second machining center is arranged offset to the center and offset to the first machining center. In an example embodiment, the roll body has a parallel to the axis of rotation, the first machining center lies in the cross-section on the parallel, and the second machining center lies in the cross-section on the parallel.

A calibration system, a calibration method, and a calibration device configured to determine base information of a polish head to polish a workpiece through the polish head are provided. The base information comprises a first position. The calibration system includes the polish head, a controller, and a sensor group. The controller is coupled to the polish head and controls the polish head to move along a first direction. The sensor group detects a force that at least one of the polish head and the workpiece senses to generate a first pressure value. The controller determines whether the first pressure value is greater than a predetermined value. According to that the first pressure value is greater than the predetermined value, the first position is determined.
