LD-16B-RP Battery Rail Drill Rainproof

Cembre LD-16B-RP Battery Rail Drill, Rainproof is a high-performance, cordless rail drilling machine designed for railway maintenance. Engineered for precision and efficiency, this lightweight, single-operator tool is ideal for drilling holes in steel rails, particularly VIGNOLE (flat-bottom) rails like the 60E1 (UIC60), and is compatible with Cembre’s CY series broach cutters (e.g., CY190 for 19mm holes used with AR60D electrical contacts).

Key Features

• Rainproof Design: IP44M protection rating ensures reliable operation in wet and high-humidity conditions, perfect for outdoor railway work.
• Battery-Powered: Powered by a 36V - 8.0Ah lithium-ion battery, offering cordless portability and compatibility with other Cembre tools like the SD-36B drill, TW-18B screwdriver, NR-25B wrench, and B70M-P36R pump, enhancing efficiency and cost savings.
• High Precision: Equipped with a centering system and quick push/turn shank for accurate hole placement, ideal for signal track circuits and electrical contact installations.
• Low Noise and Vibration: Produces minimal acoustic noise and vibration, making it suitable for tunnels, underground facilities, or nighttime operations.
• Ergonomic and Lightweight: Weighs approximately 17 kg (37.5 lbs), with ergonomic design for single-operator use, reducing fatigue during extended tasks.
• Coolant System: Includes a coolant reservoir and pump with quick coupler, supporting Cembre’s VASCO5000 lubrocooler or V11 antifreeze for enhanced cutting performance and tool longevity.
• LED Lighting: Illuminates the work area for improved visibility in low-light conditions.
• High Performance: Capable of drilling steel rail grades 700-900-1100 (UIC 860.0), with fast drilling times and compatibility with CY series broach cutters (13mm to 36mm).
• Safety Features: Includes safety guards and electronic control to prevent overloads, ensuring operator safety and tool durability.
