Game-changing innovation

Additive Manufacturing for Next-Generation Brake Systems

This game-changing technology reduces the overall weight of components, decreases lead times for spare parts, 和 enables product-function integration that limits the need for equipment maintenance. 除了, additive manufacturing significantly reduces energy consumption, making it a more environmentally friendly 和 sustainable solution. Learn how we’re using additive manufacturing to design 和 develop next-generation braking systems like Metroflexx 和 Regioflexx.

From Metroflexx to the new Regioflexx

When it comes to brakes, reliability 和 performance are top priority. Train operators need to know their systems are safe 和 that they work well – even in degraded conditions. 然而, if they are to run their networks efficiently, operators also need their braking systems to be competitive in terms of their maintainability 和 cost-effectiveness, as well as the extra features they provide to get trains ready for the future. 与Metroflexx, Wabtec has established a best-in-class reputation for providing all these benefits to metro operators. Our new Regioflexx system now sets the bar even higher with a next-generation offer for suburban, 城际, regional 和 high-speed trains.

Technical Paper: Breaking a technology lock to make rail transport systems more efficient

Everyone expects 和 wants greater efficiency in rail transportation, but due to urban concentration 和 a lack of funding, it seems very unlikely that the infrastructure will be exp和ed. The only way to improve rail transportation performance is therefore by running more trains per hour on existing tracks. 要做到这一点, we need to overcome the challenge of braking performance limitations due to adhesion between wheels 和 rails....

SIL 4 Wheel Slide Protection System: Myth or Reality?

Accurate 和 consistent braking distance is required regardless of adhesion conditions – many operators are looking to increase safety in wheel slide protection (WSP) systems, especially during emergency brake application. Our SIL 4 Wise™ board is helping us to do just that. When trains are equipped with Wise™, the SIL 4 watchdog function eliminates safety concerns while the monitoring function maintains optimal performance in low adhesion conditions. The system also greatly reduces operator maintenance costs through improved rail-to-wheel energy management.

DistanceMaster™ by Wabtec: We don’t just make braking distance reproducible, but we also improve it in impressive proportions!

As the greenest form of passenger transport, rail travel is at the heart of the matter when it comes to lowering emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). It is therefore essential to find ways to accommodate more people on the network while providing a comfortable passenger experience...

Green Friction Technology: Tackling fine particle pollution in tunnels

Pollution – whether of oceans, groundwater or air – is one of the hot-button topics of our age. Reducing air pollution from automotive emissions has long been the primary objective of  research 和 development, 但同样, the issue of air quality in train tunnels is also a major concern. Wabtec is tackling this challenge through next generation friction technology that drastically reduces brake emissions.

Why Tomorrow’s Trains Won’t Have to Choose Between Customization 和 Competitiveness

From the George Westinghouse distributor valve to the SAB slack adjuster 和 BFC tread brake, Wabtec builds on over 150 years of train brake expertise in our continuous effort to introduce innovative braking solutions. 今天, we’ve redoubled our focus on the areas of product validation 和 certification to address brakes’ three main subsystems...
