Fourteen test rigs that offer exceptional testing capabilities to meet your needs

We are continuously investing in our test laboratory equipment to ensure we are always up-to-date and further expand testing capacities for our railway customers. Our location in Schweinfurt offers a total of six test rigs. We have six further test rigs in our laboratory in Anting, China. Two AAR test rigs were put into operation in 2024 in South Carolina, USA. These eleven test rigs enable us to offer significantly high testing capacities on the market. In view of the high demand for testing facilities, this can be a decisive factor for our customers’ time to market.

Accredited independent test laboratories with flexible scope of category III
Our Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) “Railway Test Facility” comprising two test laboratories in Germany and China is accredited by the National Accreditation Body for the Federal Republic of Germany (DAkkS). The accreditation confirms that both laboratories as independent testing facilities have the required expertise according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 to carry out tests of the performance capability of axlebox bearings for railway applications.

We immediately implement changes to test standards by making technical adjustments to our test rigs. Additionally, our laboratories have an accreditation with a flexible scope of category III. This means that they are also permitted to carry out test procedures without prior notification and approval by DAkkS if a revised standard has been issued.
