Generation 4
Introducing the press of the 21st century. It has the skills of all three previous generations of presses: it assembles, measures and inspects simultaneously. It uses laser and optics for precise results.
Generation 3
Automation forward! The third-generation press itself measures the geometry of the chassis, controls the load on the chassis with a hydraulic press, or measures the chassis heights with a laser.
Generation 2
A series of higher generation presses, the basic model adds some more advanced measuring functions. It is a transitional model between the basic and highly specialized presses of generations 3 and 4
Generation 1
The press handles the basic assembly and disassembly of train bogies. This type of press performs only basic operations without advanced measurement or automation features.
It works automatically with an accuracy of 0.02 millimeters
A press that surpasses all similar devices.
Key features
2 skills in 1 machine
Repair and re-measure train bogies in one place: our press can measure, assemble and dismantle bogies. All in one place. No more moving 30-ton / heavy wagons to different locations.
Work twice as fast
You can perform the inspection in half the time you are used to with similar machines. The press performs the measurement work automatically. In the same time, it can service twice as many chassis.
Absolute measurement accuracy
The automated press measures everything itself, with incredible accuracy – down to a hundredth of a millimeter. This avoids the risk of errors and deviations that simply occur when measuring by a human.
Easy to use
You control the press in the Siemens system and it is so clear that you will learn to operate it after just one training session. The interface also allows you to generate measurement reports or find a complete measurement history for each chassis.
Automatic moving arm
Assemble, disassemble, perform service and measurements – all at the same time and in one place.
We have specially designed the press with a 90° rotating arm that performs adjustments and repairs to the chassis directly in the press's working area. The work of the arm is then immediately followed by a laser with its measurement. This solution is unparalleled among engineering equipment. Conventional presses have a fixed frame structure with pressure pistons, so you have to transport the chassis back and forth.
Technical parameters
The press is suitable for various types of bogies, including locomotives.
It features adjustable prisms for different chassis wheelbase lengths.
You can set the wheelbase lengths of the chassis in the range of 1500–3300 millimeters.
The movement of the prisms is ensured by motors with frequency converters and precise measurement, and the prisms have strain gauge sensors that allow the distribution of the chassis weight on individual wheels to be measured.
Hydraulic pressure cylinders exert up to 60 tons of pressure on the chassis during measurement.
Upon request, we can add other measuring devices to the press, such as impedance measurement or wheel set runout.

See for yourself what will save you the most work
Laser measures chassis values
The operator in your company is guided by the instructions on the machine screen. The meter is attached to the correct place with a magnet and the operator presses the button to start the measurement. If the measured value is correct, the measurement continues to the next point that needs to be measured.
Measures wheel alignment and chassis runout
The press measures the wheel track (track width) with a Riftek ruler. This writes the measured values into a portable device – a PDA measuring device. You connect this device directly to the machine's automatic machine so that the measured values are transferred to the measurement protocol. You can also enter the values manually if necessary.
Measures the tightness of the brake circuit
All the machine operator needs to do is connect the chassis pressure brake circuits and, if applicable, the pneumatic suspension circuit to the machine using quick-connect couplings. Once everything is connected, the press will automatically check for air leaks – as you set in advance in the parameters.
