Key features
- Advanced Technology: Our high-speed switches and crossings are engineered to meet the unique demands of high-speed rail networks. We utilize state-of-the-art technology, including:
- Swing Nose Crossing with Manganese Cradle: This design allows trains to run safely at speeds of up to 350 km/h on direct tracks and 230 km/h on diverging tracks, ensuring smooth running continuity.
- Inclined Turnouts: Our patented inclined running tables (1/20, 1/30, and 1/40) provide perfect continuity with standard rails, reducing maintenance needs and enhancing passenger comfort.
Proven Safety Systems
Safety is paramount in high-speed rail operations. Our products incorporate several advanced safety features:
- Clamp Lock (VCC): An individual locking and switch rail control device that ensures both switch rails are securely locked and controlled in their final positions.
- Swing Nose Clamp Lock (VPM): This device locks the swing nose and is fixed to the cradle, providing additional safety for high-speed operations.
- Paulvé Detector: A reliable monitoring system that controls the application and opening of switch rails and crossing points, ensuring operational safety.
