HAKAN: Measuring braking systems of rolling stock
HAKAN: measurement of braking systems of rolling stock
This equipment allows the brake to be
measured directly on the carriage, loco-
motive or also on the test bench. As an in-
dicator of our customers' satisfaction and
a guarantee of quality, 115 HAKAN test
devices have been manufactured as of
1 June 2022 and are used to measure the
braking systems of trucks, passenger cars,
locomotives and individual brake compo-
nents on test stands.
Precision, practicality and versatility are
taken into account in the development
and production. The HAKAN S is housed
in a lightweight yet durable all-aluminium
housing with all-rubber wheels. This gives
the operator great flexibility and mobility.
The number of 10 pressure inputs is fully
sufficient to measure the complete braking
of a car with two independent distributors
and three brake cylinders with load-de-
pendent braking. HAKAN S can be con-
trolled by any PC, laptop, tablet or other
mobile device running Win7, Win10 or
Win11. The HAKAN software is open and
user-configurable, compatible with brake
systems from all the world's leading ma-
nufacturers (Dako, Knorr-Bremse, Wab-
tec, Wabco, Westinghouse, Oerlikon,
Charmilles). The user can define any mea-
surement procedure corresponding to the
required regulation (UIC, VPI, ČD, DB,
SNCF, etc.) and create any protocol with
the possibility of saving graphical repre-
sentations of individual pressures. The
HAKAN system can be fully calibrated
by software and the application softwa-
re contains all the necessary routines for
calibration. This can be done on site in
a matter of minutes.
HAKAN is a modern measuring device
that provides the operator with the con-
venience of automatic diagnostics. It has a
positive effect on increasing work produc-
tivity and above all provides the user with
full repeatability and documentability of
all measurement results. The test results
are stored in the operator device in PDF
format or directly in a designated databa-
se. This corresponds perfectly to today's
requirements for the production, operati-
on and repair of rolling stock.
The development of the HAKAN system
is constantly moving forward and keeping
up with the latest trends in the field of rol-
ling stock braking systems. Of course, we
also implement new requirements from
existing and new customers. The high fle-
xibility and versatility of the equipment,
together with the professional service pro-
vided, are the prerequisites for customer
satisfaction and for remaining at the foref-
ront of the rolling stock brake system me-
asurement industry. p

The company CRESSTO s.r.o. has been involved with
the issue of measuring brakes and brake components
of rolling stock for nearly 20 years. During this time,
in cooperation with leading experts in the field, we have
developed a universal, user-configurable device
for objective diagnosis and evaluation of rolling stock
braking systems called HAKAN S.
