Our in-house exhibition under the motto ''Nencki Innovation Days 2021'' has gone by successfully. It was a great pleasure for us to show our customers, partners and agents our new features and our patent pending innovations. Last but not least, it was a great pleasure for us to invite our employees with their families and friends to a cheerful company party during our "day of open house".

Not only our technical innovations, but also the personal contact was an important element of these past days. In particular, the recently neglected direct contacts to customers and representatives as well as the company-internal, casual get-together could be cultivated and strengthened again.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all visitors and helpers for the successful realization and the great atmosphere during the Nencki Innovation Days 2021.

From August 26 to August 28, 2021, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., we will open our gates at our headquarters in Langenthal.

We will be pleased to present our latest equipment, such as coupling and magnetic rail brake testing, or to demonstrate our innovative bogie testing functions using newly developed generation wheel measuring units and energy-saving load cylinders with hybrid drive. You can find out more about our technologies and worldwide activities at our in-house exhibition at Aarwangenstrasse 90 in Langenthal.

For organisational reasons, we would be grateful if you could register in advance (by e-mail or phone) for Thursday, August 26th and Friday, August 27th, but we also warmly welcome spontaneous visitors at any time.

We look forward to welcoming you at our in-house exhibition!

Nencki Ltd. files significant innovations for international patent

Nencki Ltd., a leading developer and manufacturer of testing and handling equipment for bogies, releases significant innovations. The international patents for the brand-new functions are pending.

Bogie Test Bench:

Innovative Hybrid Drive

This innovation is related to the new type of load application required for the bogie test procedure. Instead of conventional hydraulic or electromechanical drives, the loading force is generated by newly designed hybrid drives. This method of force application consumes significantly less energy, does not require an additional stabilizing auxiliary cross beam during force application, generates significantly less emissions, enables high accuracy and life cycle costs can be significantly reduced. In addition, the hybrid drive enables dynamic, frequency-controlled force application to "pre-roll" all rubber and spring elements in the bogie. The first Nencki bogie test benches with the new hybrid drive technology have been sold and will be delivered in 2021. An international patent has been filed for this new technology.

Bogie Test Bench:

New Generation of Wheel Measuring Units

This innovative technical achievement, also developed by Nencki engineers, includes a completely new concept of wheel load measurement and revolutionizes the previous approach during bogie testing and handling of the bogie before and after testing (loading and unloading). With this new concept, each wheel of the bogie can be raised and lowered individually, and the complete bogie can be moved longitudinally. This flexibility allows the bogie to be rolled in and out of the test area of the test stand fully automatically. The centering of the bogie within the machine, which is necessary for accurate measurements, is executed by the machine automatically and controlled. The test bench not only calculates the required wheel shim heights, the individually height-adjustable wheel measuring units also allow a real time simulation of the calculated height correction. Due to this unique individual height adjustments, a twisted track situation can be simulated as well. A lowering device for the bogie within the test bench is no longer necessary, as the height-adjustable wheel measuring units can raise the bogie directly of the infeed rails. Energy consumption has been significantly reduced by optimized electromechanical drives. An international patent has been filed for this innovation, too.

 

We would like to thank all of our partners, customers, suppliers, employees and friends for the good cooperation and support in these testing times and wish you and your families a very special Christmas.

A year after the delivery of the first Nencki bogie test bench NBT Coach to Metro Istanbul in August 2018, we are pleased to announce that we have received an order for an identical second machine.

Both machines are located a few meters apart in the maintenance workshops at Metro Istanbul in Esenler (Istanbul).

After an extremely short manufacturing time of only four months, the factory acceptance of the second test stand was successfully carried out at Nencki in Langenthal at the beginning of February 2020.

The acceptance test at Istanbul Metro is scheduled for March 2020.

    Regardless of a freight, a highspeed, a normal speed or a mass transit train – nobody wishes for an accident caused through derailing. In the event of an incident, due to a faulty bogie, the operation of a complete metro line can be interrupted followed by immediate negative news headlines in the press and social media. A worldwide topic is the reduction of wheel wearing in order to minimize the life cycle costs of a train.
     
     An important factor to reduce the mentioned problems and risks is to adjust and control the correct wheel load.

     

    the correct wheel load

    The railway division of Nencki Ltd. wishes everyone happy holidays and a good start into the new Year 2018!

    We thank you for the good cooperation last year and look forward to further challenges in the new year!

    Approximately 100 bogies are currently tested on the Nencki NBT Coach every year. With the axle assembly stand, attached directly to the bogie test bench, the revised bogies are completely assembled and pre-adjusted

    The completed bogie can be moved through a shifting device, directly from the axle assembly stand onto the bogie test bench. After the test is completed, the bogie is returned to the axle assembly stand and transferred in its lowered position to the final locomotive assembly by a self-propelled special vehicle.

    The Nencki bogie exchanging system consists of a movable scissor lifting table and servese the purpose of transporting bogies from the workshop to the bogie preparation department or reverse. The travel distance of the bogie drop table between the old and new hall in the village of Zweilütschinen is 25 metres.

    The bogies stored in the basement can be exchanged at the desired storage location and moved to the required destination with the bogie exchanging system.

     Nencki has sold and can supply the second bogie test stand NBT Loco 2x450 kN for locomotive bogies to Transnet Engineering of South Africa. Transnet is the South African State freight railway operator. For the assembly of new locomotive bogies, produced under joint venture with CRRC and GE and subsequent maintenance at the factory in Kodeospoort near Pretoria, Nencki is delivering a bogie test stand for 3-axle bogies, wheighing 36 tons. The machine can apply a test load of 2 x 45 tons, can measure wheel load distribution, axle and wheel shoulder distances and measure several important heights, to be adjusted on bogies. The first machine is already in operation at the location of Transnet Engineering in Durban, where bogies under a joint venture with Bombardier are manufactured.
