HAKAN

measurement of braking

systems of rolling stock

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.

This equipment allows the brake to be

measured directly on the carriage, locomotive or also on the test bench. As an indicator 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 components 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-dependent braking. HAKAN S can be controlled 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 manufacturers (Dako, Knorr-Bremse, Wabtec, Wabco, Westinghouse, Oerlikon,

Charmilles). The user can define any measurement procedure corresponding to the

required regulation (UIC, VPI, ČD, DB,

SNCF, etc.) and create any protocol with

the possibility of saving graphical representations of individual pressures. The

HAKAN system can be fully calibrated

by software and the application software 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 convenience of automatic diagnostics. It has a

positive effect on increasing work productivity 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 database. This corresponds perfectly to today's

requirements for the production, operation 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 rolling stock braking systems. Of course, we

also implement new requirements from

existing and new customers. The high flexibility and versatility of the equipment,

together with the professional service provided, are the prerequisites for customer

satisfaction and for remaining at the forefront of the rolling stock brake system measurement industry.
