Cost-Effective and Reliable

FBW technology minimizes consumable usage, extends weld lifespan, and reduces manual labor – making our equipment a smart investment for large-scale infrastructure and rail modernization projects.

Highest Productivity

Up to 60 welds per shift (0.54 km with
18m rail length).

Maximum Strength

100% tensile strength compared to
parent rail.

Lowest Defect Rate

8–10 times fewer defects than AT or
Arc welding.

Minimal Heat-Affected Zone

Only 20–45 mm, preserving steel
integrity.

Reduced Time & Cost

Shortest prep and post-weld time,
lowest welding cost.

Seamless Integration with RW Products Ecosystem

Our welding heads are fully compatible with:
