Automated production of railway sleepers in concrete. The machine pulls in pre-cast railway sleepers with a total weight of up to 55 tonnes. The sleepers are stopped in the correct position and then cuts. The machine cuts through four sleepers with a reinforcement of 40 seconds and then unloads them automatically. This process is repeated every 80 seconds. The sleepers then turn 180 degrees to end in the correct position.
