Point Machine

A point machine (also known as a switch or point motor) is a railway turnout actuation device used to remotely operate railway points (track switches), enabling trains to be routed from one track to another with precision and safety.

Rotomotive Point Machines combine rugged engineering with efficient electric operation to ensure reliable switch blade movement, locking and position detection — critical functions that support safe train routing and signalling systems.
