Storage

Raw material stock: steel plate waiting to be cut.

Purchased-part store. Every rack is labelled; stock is tracked through the ERP system.

The production hall. The overhead crane carries 5 tonnes; machining centres line both sides.

Inside a CNC machining centre: the part clamped to the table, coolant running.

Part preparation: flame cutting on a component held in a fixture.

CNC plasma cutting. The plate is cut to the line that comes straight from the drawing.

Welding

Within the scope of the quality certificates we have, mechanized and manual 111, 135 and 141 welding processes are performed.

All of our welders are first assigned to the production area after being trained and certified.

Grinding after welding: the weld surface is dressed back.

Arc welding on a bogie component. Every welder is trained and certified before working on the floor.

Sandblasting

Sandblasting for surface cleaning before painting is done manually and automatically in special cabinets. The surface blasting quality is evaluated according to ISO 8501 and/or NACE standards. For the correct application of the paint systems used, the surface cleaning quality is cleaned with at least SA 2,5 quality steel grit.

Painting

Painting is carried out in special booths with a climate control system. The painting system applied meets the C3 and C4 category requirements of the ISO 12944 standard according to customer requirements. After painting, the drying process begins and, subject to quality control tests, the painted bogies are sent to the accessory assembly line.

Packaging

Bogies with or without wheelsets are shipped with special packaging forms according to customer demands. With the packaging technique, bogies can be stored for a long time in closed areas that will not be affected by climate and environmental conditions. Before servicing stored bogies, checks must be made according to VPI instructions.
