Testing the Pantograph Power

Pantograph Load Testing for Electric Trains A  pantograph load test machine  is a specialized system used to evaluate and simulate the performance of pantographs, which are critical components in electric trains. Complex Environment and Challenges         The  pantograph  is the component of an electric train that makes contact with the overhead trolley wire (catenary system) to draw power. The environment where the pantograph touches the wire is incredibly complex: Catenary systems exhibit varying vertical stiffness along their length. The wires zigzag at intervals (typically 30 to 100 meters) to prevent grooving. The force applied by the pantograph to the wire must stay within a well-defined range (usually between 70N and 120N). Too little force results in loss of contact, arcing, and damage to the wire and contact bar. Too much force causes premature wear on the wire and contact bar due to friction. Delivering the right amount of force requires variable vertical motion, especiall

Revolutionizing Railway Safety In the pursuit of advancing railway safety and efficiency, Novatek has embarked on a groundbreaking project to develop an Automated Test Bench that performs functional tests on braking systems used in railways. This innovative solution is set to transform the way railway systems ensure the reliability and effectiveness of their critical safety components. The Need for Innovation in Railway Braking Systems Railway braking systems are vital for the safe operation of trains, requiring regular and rigorous testing to maintain performance standards. Traditional methods of brake testing are often manual, time-consuming, and not always capable of detecting certain types of failures. Novatek’s Automated Test Bench addresses these challenges head-on, offering a risk-based, efficient, and reliable testing process. Introducing Novatek’s Automated Test Bench Novatek’s Automated Test Bench is designed with precision and adaptability in mind. Utilizing state-
