Sulzer is pleased to announce a new investment in an advanced automated commutator undercutting system, further strengthening its capabilities in supporting traction motor and generator systems for both freight and passenger rolling stock.
This latest addition is set to significantly improve operational efficiency, reduce lead times, and deliver enhanced consistency for customers across the UK rail sector. By automating key processes, the new system enables faster turnaround while maintaining the highest standards of quality.
Dean Humpherys, Head of Rail, commented:
“This is another fantastic example of our continued investment in strengthening our rail services offering for our customers.
This new undercutter will not only reduce task duration but also deliver more consistent results and drive improvements in health and safety — exactly the kind of capability we need as we continue to raise standards.
Importantly, this marks the start of a broader investment pipeline to support the UK rail sector at both component and system level, ensuring we are well positioned to meet current and future workloads.”
This investment reinforces Sulzer’s commitment to innovation, safety, and delivering high-quality, reliable solutions to the rail industry.
