From the rubber bearing to the bogie to the carriage body, we offer experienced solutions to both developers and engineers with reliable support for product and operational safety as well as quality assurance.
As an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory, we test complete rail car bodies according to EN 12663-1 and validate bogies and bogie frames according to EN 13749 for all types of trains, including trams, locomotives, and freight or passenger trains.
We bring together engineers and technicians from several fields of expertise, from measurement and control engineering, computing, construction, and test design and assessment, to pool our expertise to allow for harnessing synergies and create added value for customers.
We aim to provide testing and engineering solutions that help customers test their innovative products for the railway sector in order to get them validated as quickly as possible to make sure they comply with strict legal requirements.
Depending on the type of test, we record the following:
We register expansions using two methods:
We register static and dynamic forces, such as tension and compression, within a wide measuring range from 0.1 kN to 4 MN and also employ piezoelectric sensors as well as force absorbers on DMS basis.
Environmental influences can severely impair the function and service life throughout the lifecycle of a railway product, from its production to its distribution and use.
