Adjust to different working conditions
-
Simply move clips on the guide rods to set the workhead descend level for different rail heights.
-
Set the workheads to handle different base widths for accurate clip insertion placement.
-
Quickly reverse direction on the track using the integrated turntable.
High production levels
The NSCA is ideal for both tie and rail high-production gangs. Use the dual-workhead mode to efficiently operate both the inside and outside workhead guns simultaneously. In addition, four workhead guns allow you to rapidly install all four clips at the same time.
Automatic clip lubrication
Integrated soap sprayer nozzles on each workhead automatically lubricate clips during application to ensure fast placement and attachment.
Operator comfort and ergonomics
The fully enclosed, climate-controlled (heat and air conditioning) provide excellent four-season operator comfort. Window placement is designed to provide excellent visibility of the work area as well as the track ahead. Finally, joystick controls make workhead movement easy and intuitive.
