Railway: Bolting to stay on track
As trains and railway networks become more advanced, so do the demands on rail lines and train components.
When a train is traveling at over 300 km/h, the whole carriage is rattled with constant vibration and strain, putting bolted connections to test. However, checking and tightening bolted joints is time-consuming, tedious work; the tracks are long, and switch types are many. We have bolting solutions to ensure that bolts stay put, but also cutting-edge digital solutions to continuously monitor preload force.
