There are few components on railway vehicles which come in so many different variant types as the bogies. The stresses on these components (which consist mainly of welded structures) are never the same, but always extremely high. On ICE trains, for example, half of all axles are driven and the bogies can also be adjusted in their inclination angle. For machining these units, high-precision tools are required which feature the highest possible levels of productivity and flexibility. We offer the right tools for the job, as well as a cutting tool material that has become the benchmark around the world: Tiger·tec® Silver.
