METHOD OF PROVIDING RAIL SLEEPERS, ESPECIALLY REINFORCED OR PRESTRESSED CONCRETE ONES, WITH RAIL BONDS AND MATRIX FOR FEEDING SUCH BONDS TO AN ASSEMBLING ROBOT

摘要

The arrangement is used to feed-in all parts such as screws, spring clips, guide plates etc. required for the preliminary mounting on sleepers and which are used for securing rails to the sleepers at a later time. The parts (3) for the fixing of a rail (2) are mounted on a matrix in their correct relative positions and are placed on an endless belt from which they are picked up by an assembly robot and are placed during one workstroke on the sleeper. The robot also tightens the fixing screws of the supports.
