MODERN TECHNOLOGIES IN GERMAN FEDERAL RAILWAY REPAIR SHOPS

MODERNE TECHNOLOGIEN IM WERKSTATTENDIENST DER DEUTSCHEN BUNDESBAHN

New vehicle designs and ever increasing service demands on the repair shops, but primarily the permanent rationalization efforts necessitate a continuous improvement of manufacturing techniques. Carrying out vehicle repairs with good technical results and also within a short time and at a favourable price is not so much a question of better machine tools of automation, but primarily a question of the most suitable technologies for solving the individual problems. That is true even more in view of the fact that lightweight vehicles and the steadily increasing intervals between inspections make demands on surface finish properties and qualities that were unknown previously and could frequently no longer be attained by conventional manufacturing methods and techniques. This was especially valid for the manufacturing branches concerned with surface preparation, surface coating, wear prevention and jointing. Using modern technologies, e.g. injection technique and airless spraying, dosed surface hardening and thermal spraying, metal bonding and some other methods, quite a number of problems could be solved. To this end, industrial fixtures and machines were improved so as to be suitable for the requirements arising in DB repair shops, and partly also new developments were necessary for solving typical railway problems. The new technologies resulted not only in better performance and longer life of the components, but also in partly considerable reductions of manufacturing effort and expanditure.
