Wheel­sets of rail­way vehic­les are expo­sed to con­stant wear during ope­ra­tion. This is che­cked regu­larly; the respec­tive main­ten­ance mea­su­res for the wheel­sets are usually exe­cu­ted at regu­lar inter­vals. A fur­ther opti­mi­sa­tion of main­ten­ance pro­longs the run­ning times of the wheel­sets and also redu­ces the costs for the ope­ra­tors. For the ana­ly­sis of wear fac­tors, it is neces­sary to trace the history of wheel­sets throug­hout their ser­vice life accor­ding to their cha­rac­te­ristic data. These ana­ly­ses pro­vide the basis for iden­ti­fy­ing and tap­ping pre­viously unu­sed poten­tial in the main­ten­ance of wheel­sets. With…

When the smell of pop­corn and seve­ral tons of heavy machine tools comes into your nose, it’s time again: NILES-SIMMONS opens its doors for all curious visi­tors during the days of indus­trial cul­ture in Chem­nitz.

After 100 years RASOMA we cele­brate this year 130 years HEGENSCHEIDT-MFD. 1600 guests were invi­ted to the anni­ver­sary of our sis­ter com­pany, among them just com­pany employees and their fami­lies. It was very important for HEGENSCHEIDT to arrange the com­pany anni­ver­sary as a family cele­bra­tion. John Oli­ver Nau­mann, Mana­ging Direc­tor and Chair­man of the Board, explai­ned that HEGENSCHEIDT is »very proud of its employees, who are par­ti­ally working for HEGENSCHEIDT in the third or even fourth gene­ra­tion within their family and have thus shown great loyalty to the com­pany«.

»No one has wai­ted for our pro­ducts.« That is what Klaus Krä­her, Mana­ging Direc­tor and COO of NILES-SIMMONS Indus­trie­an­la­gen GmbH, says about the new start of the machine tool com­pany after the reuni­fi­ca­tion.

In par­ti­cu­lar, the avia­tion, rail­way and auto­mo­tive indus­tries are the company’s main sec­tors. „Of course, there were alre­ady enough mar­ket lea­der in our branch after the reuni­fi­ca­tion, but through our fle­xi­bi­lity and com­plete pro­duc­tion concepts,…
