Computer-controlled spring text presses

NENCKI offers solutions for coil, metal-rubber and leaf springs as well as solutions for testing of complete primary suspensions. Our fully computer-controlled machines can be used for the testing of:

• Axial stiffness
• Transversial stiffness
• Bowing angle and distance
• Deflection diagrams
• Other spring-specific test parameters

Wheel weighing facility

Safety against derailment is a primary concern for locomotive and rolling stock manufacturers and rail operators alike. NENCKI’s wheel weighing facility allows for the measurement of individual wheel loads and unloading in a twisted-track derailment scenario. The test is performed to the regulations of the EN 14363 standard, is fully automatic and can be completed in less than 30min.

• Rail-end brushing machines
• Flash-butt welding machines
• Four-way straightening machines
• Rail profile grinding machines
• Conveyors for rails and mainline control, for connecting all machinery to a complete line
• Weld test presses
• Mobile straightening presses
