High speed train pantograph High Speed

EN 12663with ADD

High Speed Pantographs are for all types of high speed vehicles. They are designed for service speeds up to 400km/h. We are proud to hold the current world speed record of 574.8 km/h for a train on steel wheels with our pantograph achieved in 2007. The pantographs are electronically controlled with the working extension of 2,6 m. The communication with the train is via various train networks including Ethernet, MVB or TRDP. Pantograph control unit utilizes various TCMS data such as speed, network type, pantograph position or unit configuration in order to achieve an optimal contact force at all operating conditions and speeds. Remote diagnostics and cyber security are included within the electronics scope. Equipped with all modern systems such as automatic dropping (ADD), maximum extension limitation or carbon strip wear detection it can satisfy the most demanding requirements. Our pantographs are in operation all around the world, e.g. in China, France, South Korea with thousands delivered since 1990. Comply with various national and international interface and collector head profile standards. Benefits for you Major reduction of pantograph adjustment time during the dynamic line tests No need for aerodynamic elements on pantograph structure due to electronically controlled variable contact force Suitable for all operational conditions including the multiple unit configuration Electro-pneumatic drive with servo pneumatic contact force management Reliable and highly service proven solution Low weight Catalogue or customized solutions
