The test bench is used for the functional testing of multiple components in one single device. The design consist of a basic module and extension modules, that can be configured and extended according to the customer testing scope. This custom-made configuration makes it ideal for overhauling workshops with limited space. The testing is manual or automatic depending on the unit under test.

The test bench is used for the functional testing of complete brake racks and their modules on customer side.

The design consist of a control cabinet, an external vessel and a pneumatic module (configurable and extendable depending on customer requirements). The testing procedure is software-controlled. Extension of testing scope is possible acquiring new test adapters and software updates.

The test bench is used for the automatic testing of compressors, auxiliary compressor and air supply units.

The design consist of a control cabinet and separate testing cabinet, that allows the testing to be performed in a separate chamber (for noise reduction or temperature control). Extension of testing scope is possible acquiring new test adapters and software updates.

The test bench is used for functional testing of tread brakes with single or double block and U cylinder units.

Both manual or semi-automatic design configurations are available. The test bench can test under Chinese TJ/CL308 CRCC/CURC regulation. Extension of testing scope is possible acquiring new test brackets and/or software updates.

The test bench is used for functional testing of compact brake caliper units. Both manual or semi-automatic design configurations are available. The test bench can test under Chinese TJ/CL308 CRCC/CURC regulation. Extension of testing scope is possible acquiring new test brackets and/or software updates.

The test bench is used for the functional and leakage testing of hydraulic units. The design consist of a hydraulic bench, a control cabinet and a power unit. The testing procedure is software-controlled. Extension of testing scope is possible acquiring new test brackets and software updates.

The test bench is used to perform functional and leakage testing in hydraulic brake calipers and hydraulic brake cylinders. The hydraulic unit is integrated in the test bench, what makes the design compact and ideal for overhauling in workshops with limited space. The testing procedure is software-controlled. Extension of testing scope is possible acquiring new test brackets and software updates.

The test bench consists of two main parts: the mechanical bench itself, and the control desk. The two are connected electrically and pneumatically. The test bench’s major advantage is its ability to test various types of slack adjusters from different manufacturers.

The mechanical bench is a mechanical assembly that simulates a railcar’s brake rigging, adapted so that the slack adjusters can be tested. It comprises a welded steel frame and two movable tables. The main mechanical assemblies are the two levers on which the slack adjuster is mounted. To ensure that the operator is safe at all times, the bench is surrounded by a safety barrier featuring two horizontal doors and four vertical doors for ease of access.

The MI-8 "Transformer" from the North Macedonian test equipment specialists within the Knorr-Bremse Group, adds a high-end mobile brake testing device to the Company’s portfolio, that is intuitive to operate, easy to transport, shockproof and can be used across a wide range of temperatures. It is suitable for testing a variety of braking systems on different rail vehicles, such as freight and passenger cars, locomotives, multiple units and rail maintenance vehicles. Furthermore, an extensive range of additional testing equipment ensures the correct functioning of other system components, encompassing everything from leak and profile tests to pressure, force and temperature sensor checks.

The MI-8 Transformer HUB is a new, advanced, modular diagnostics system for rail vehicles. The system features state-of-the-art technology and is suitable for field testing. The system as a whole delivers a very high level of testing functionality and reliability, thanks to the use of standardized components complying with the highest quality standards. The system is one of the most advanced of its kind, setting new benchmarks for user-friendliness and flexibility. It was developed for testing essential parameters in the rail vehicle braking process.

RailServices can supply vehicle operators with special service and diagnosis kits that make repairs and the more simple overhauls safer, faster and cheaper. These user-friendly kits contain all the tools you need for the job, along with clear instructions.
