ZKL is investing in modern production facilities as part of the plan to expand the production of new generation tapered roller bearings in the Brno plant.
The installation of new machinery and its commissioning is proceeding according to plan and production of the first CTBUs (compact tapered roller bearing units) and single row tapered roller bearings for customers in the railway sector is already underway. These bearings are designed for the complete fitting of rolling stock traction chassis, from axle to motor. The investment follows the previous development of a new range of bearings with extended life interval.
In addition to machine tools from German and Czech manufacturers, whose design was adapted to the designs and requirements of ZKL technologists, the new technologies also include new equipment for non-destructive testing of axle bearing components. The new workplace located in the reconstructed hall of ZKL Brno plant has already passed several audits of key OEM customers of the railway segment. We expect to reach full production capacity at the turn of 2024.
All the steps taken lead to the fulfilment of the ZKL Group's strategy to provide its customers with a comprehensive range of railway bearings and comprehensive solutions for more reliable and safer mobility of tomorrow.
ZKL正在提升现代化的生产设施,扩大布尔诺工厂新一代圆锥滚子轴承生产。
新机器的安装和调试正在按照计划进行,为铁路部门的客户生产的第一批CTBU(紧凑型圆锥滚子轴承单元)和单列圆锥滚子轴承已经在进行中。这些轴承设计用于从车轴到电机的机车车辆牵引底盘的完全装配。这项投资是在之前开发了一系列寿命延长的新轴承之后进行的。
除了德国和捷克制造商的机床,其设计适应了ZKL技术人员的设计和要求,新技术还包括用于车轴轴承部件无损检测的新设备。位于ZKL布尔诺工厂改造大厅的新工作场所已经通过了铁路段主要OEM客户的几次审计。我们预计在2024年之交达到满产能。
所采取的所有步骤都实现了ZKL集团的战略,为客户提供全面的铁路轴承和全面的解决方案,以实现更可靠、更安全的未来出行。
