MEASUREMENT OF RAIL

VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEMS

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

• Passenger cars

• Locomotives
