RAFAMET S.A. has confirmed an order received from NPSE JOINT VENTURE CO., LTD., based in Thailand, for the delivery and installation of a specialized UGE type underfloor wheel lathe. Delivery and installation of the machine are scheduled for the turn of the third and fourth quarters of 2027.
The end-user of the machine tool will be the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), the national rail operator in Thailand managing a network of over 4,000 km of railway lines connecting Bangkok with key regions across the country. The execution of this order marks another stage of RAFAMET's long-standing presence in the Thai market, as SRT's maintenance facilities have previously received a series of UBF 112 N wheel lathes as well as a UDA 125 N portal wheel lathe. This continued trust in our technology from Thailand's national rail operator is another clear recognition of the quality, reliability, and durability of RAFAMET machine tools.
The UGE underfloor wheel lathe is an advanced machine tool designed for the precise reprofiling of wheel profiles and brake discs directly on railway vehicles, eliminating the need to dismantle the wheelsets. This solution significantly reduces rolling stock downtime and increases the efficiency of maintenance processes.’
