Short Note - Reconditioning of CMS crossing

 Reconditioning of CMS crossing 

Reconditioning of CMS crossing – CMS crossing should be planned for reconditioning when it is chipped at nose or worn out near to the recommended limits. Presently it is being done with hand facing electrodes using welding machines. The CMS is brought to the reconditioning workshops and is kept in water tub, so that high temperature produced during welding may not damage the CMS crossing requiring reconditioning is transported to and back from the workshop. Also it needs traffic block for removing and putting back the CMS in track. A new technology called “Translamatic Robotic Welder” has been found suitable for in- situ reconditioning of CMS crossing without any traffic block. Cost is about Rs. 40, Per CMS and reconditioning life is about 30GMT.
