Safety and Precision for a Railway Manufacturing Company
When personnel safety, load integrity and weighing accuracy are critical, every detail matters.
Precision engineering for one of the world’s leading railway manufacturers
Recently, a multinational company specialising in the design and manufacture of trains, metros, trams and railway systems for some of the world’s leading operators presented DINAKSA with a specific challenge.
During the manufacturing and assembly of frames, mechanical assemblies and other critical components, it was essential to have a system capable of:
- Safely lifting high-value loads.
- Accurately determining the weight of each assembly during handling operations.
- Ensuring full traceability throughout the manufacturing process.
- Meeting the demanding quality standards of the international railway industry.
- Reducing risks to both operators and the components being handled.
In this type of industry, an error can cause more than production delays. It can also affect components with extremely high economic value that must meet the strictest specifications before entering service.
A customised solution.
To meet these requirements, Dinaksa Pesaje Industrial developed the TR 2DIN-4R Weighing Pulley, a solution that integrates the following functions into a single piece of equipment:
- Robust and safe lifting system.
- High-precision industrial weighing.
- Immediate weight display during lifting operations.
- Wireless transmission of weighing data to the ERP system, providing full traceability of operations.
- Design adapted to the customer’s production processes.
The result is a specialised solution that allows complex railway components to be handled with complete control at every stage of manufacturing and assembly.
Precision that helps ensure final product quality
Every train, tram or rail vehicle must meet precisely defined weight parameters.
Mass distribution has a direct impact on aspects such as:
- Operational safety.
- Vehicle dynamic behaviour.
- Energy consumption.
- Type approval and certification requirements.
- Final product quality.
Thanks to its integrated weighing system, the TR 2DIN-4R enables the accurate verification of the weight of assemblies, sub-assemblies and components throughout the different stages of manufacturing.
Weight data is obtained immediately, without the need to move components to separate weighing stations. This reduces non-productive time and improves overall process efficiency.
Benefits achieved
Increased operational safety
Continuous weight information during lifting and handling operations.
Protection of high-value assets
Reduced risk of incidents when handling critical components.
Enhanced quality control
Accurate verification of the weight of railway equipment and assemblies.
Increased productivity
Weighing and material handling integrated into a single operation.
Full traceability
Greater control over manufacturing and assembly processes.
