brake measurement
CRESSTO s.r.o. has been dealing with the issue of
measuring the brakes and brake components of rail
vehicles for almost 20 years. Over this time, we have
developed, in cooperation with leading experts in the
field, a universal, user-configurable device for objective
diagnostics and the evaluation of brake systems
of rail vehicles called HAKAN S.
storing the graphical characteristics of
each pressure. The HAKAN system is fully
software calibrated and the application
software contains all the necessary routines for calibration. Calibration can be performed directly on site and takes a maximum of tens of minutes.
The HAKAN is a modern measuring device providing the operator with the convenience of automatic diagnostics, while
having a positive effect on work productivity and, above all, providing users with
full repeatability and verifiability of the results of all measurements. The test results
are stored in the control unit in pdf format,
or directly in the specified database. This
fully meets today's requirements for the
production, operation, and repair of rolling stock.
The development of the HAKAN system
is constantly advancing and follows current trends in the area of rail vehicle brake
systems. We obviously implement new requirements of existing and new customers. The high flexibility and versatility of
the equipment, together with professionally provided services, are a basic prerequisite for customer satisfaction and remaining at the forefront in the field of rail
vehicle brake systems measurement. p

This device allows the brake to be measured directly on the vehicle or on a test
bench. Customer satisfaction, and therefore a guarantee of quality, is borne out by
the fact that by 1 June 2020, 80 HAKAN
test devices were produced and are being
used to measure the brake systems of freight wagons, passenger cars, locomotives,
and separate brake components on test
benches.
During development and manufacture,
attention is paid to precision, convenience, and versatility. The HAKAN S device is
housed in an aluminium, lightweight, yet
durable case with all-rubber wheels. This
allows the operator great flexibility and
mobility. The number of 10 pressure inputs is fully sufficient to measure the complete brake system of a car with two independent distributors and three brake
cylinders with braking according to load.
The HAKAN S can be controlled by any
PC, laptop, tablet, or other mobile device
operating Windows 7 or Windows 10.
HAKAN software is open and user configurable, and compatible with brake systems of all leading world manufacturers
(Dako, Knorr-Bremse, Wabtec, Wabco,
Westinghouse, Oerlikon, Charmilles).
Users can define any measuring procedure corresponding to the required regulation (UIC, VPI, ČD, DB, SNCF, etc.) and set
up any protocol with the possibility of
