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.

 Alstom Limache in Chile is doing the maintenance for Metro Merval in the area of the harbour city of Valparaiso. For the testing safety against derailing on bogies Alstom decided for a bogie test stand from Nencki.

 The Nencki NBT Light is a basic machine for testing wheel load distribution, height measuring and other options and is with newest technology of software and wheel load measuring.

With one week the machine has been installed in the workshop of Alstom Limache, also thank to the support of Alstom people and the local service partner SIMRAIL who is representing us in most of countries all over Latin America.

    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.
