Fenix Rail Systems’ innovative point machine showcased at Rail Live 2018

Fenix Rail Systems was delighted to attend the Rail Live 2018 exhibition at Long Marston, Warwickshire on 20th and 21st June 2018.

Fenix Rail Systems CEO, Craig Purcell attended as well as a number of Fenix’s engineering staff. Craig said: “This has been a great opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities and equipment to many of our potential clients without having to attend a site visit. With interest from a number of potential clients Fenix are delighted to have had the opportunity to attend this exhibition with such a large audience.”

The company used the exhibition as an opportunity to showcase its innovative point machine, the first of its kind to be used in the UK.

The point machine is equipped with an internal mechanical locking system, therefore common external maintenance locking systems such as clamp locks are no longer required.

Due to its short height, the point machine is installable between the rails without adaptation to existing track system. The point machine can be installed on a gap-free ballast ground and therefore ensures proper track conditions and reduces the strain on the points. It also increases on-site safety by reducing trackside trip hazards due to its positioning on the track.

The point machine has a robust and compact construction which is perfectly suited to rough conditions for industrial rail traffic.

• Trailable and non-trailable versions available
• Internal mechanical locking system
• Modular construction
• Available with various throw strokes, throw times and throw forces
• Various power supply options available
• Compatible interface to existing controls and systems
• Highly robust, reliable and easy to maintain
