INCREASING REQUIREMENTS MEETING TRAIN SCHEDULES AND HIGHER COMFORT EXPECTATIONS OF PASSENGERS are some of the new challenges

the manufacturers of entrance systems are faced with. Notwithstanding this, safety, reliability and availability of entrance

systems remain the key priorities. At the same time improvements for an easy use by persons with reduced mobility are

requested.

As global leader in entrance systems for passenger coaches as well as for pressure-sealed door systems for high-speed trains,

we cover the complete range of market requirements by our sliding plug doors E3 and DET from 600 to 1600 mm entrance

width. The offer is complemented by a variety of door leaf types and access devices such as sliding or movable step systems.

Further development is not only driven by a technical and functional excellence but also by long-term economic considera-

tions. Our products are characterized by a particularly low-maintenance and easy-to-install design featuring the lowest life

cycle costs.

IFE is globally renowned as a reliable partner for the supply of entrance systems. The range of offered services, however, goes

far beyond this area and furthermore includes installation, commissioning as well as maintenance over the whole product

life of our door systems, including spare parts management.

THE E3H-RIC CONVINCES by its rugged

design that can even be combined with wide and

heavy door leaves. The installation within the width

of the portal and the reduced dimensions allow for

its use in all vehicles and installation spaces.

There is a purely mechanical activation of the

optional folding step.

THE PATENTED IFE SEALS for pressure-

sealed door systems operate in a strictly passive

way activated by the swivelling movement of the

door leaf.

The lip sealing system of the E3H-RIC is also a

robust passive sealing system with many proven

field applications.

THE E3D IS BASED ON THE E3H and has

been developed as a pressure-sealed variant for big

entrance widths of up to 1600 mm.

The four over dead centre locks guarantee the

pressure-sealing for pressures of up to 8.000 Pa

at 1600 mm width, even in case of being taken

out of service.

THE IFE FOLDING STEP (RIC) for passenger

coaches is linked to the door drive and

needs no own drive and control

components. Therefore, maintenance

efforts are reduced, the reliability is

improved and the installation space is

minimised. The reduced number of

components leads to a reduced

installation and adjustment effort for

our customers

THE SWIVELLING STEP FROM IFE extends

to a fixed distance, due to its

kinematics. IFE offers various kinematic

solutions that can be adapted

according to the specific needs of a

project. Our long-time experience

puts us in a position to respond to

specific requirements and to serve

them by proven concepts.

THE SLIDING STEP X4 FROM IFE is character-

ised by its extremely compact design

and its highest level of reliability.

The statically determined 3-point

guiding system with an integrated

weight detection tolerates vehicle

torsions and is free of jamming.

The used materials guarantee an

optimal protection against corrosion.

DECADES OF SERVICEWITHOUT COMPROMISES

Assembly & Commissioning

RailServices offer a pro- fessional support from the initial installation of a door system and the accompany-ing training of customers’ local staff up to the installation of complete entrance system series for complete vehicles. Following customer wishes, specialists will be available at customer premises at firm conditions.

Repairs

Servicing of entrance systems is offered at fixed conditions and processing times and there is an additional possi- bility to plan them in regular intervals. A special advan-tage for the customer is the use of original IFE spare parts and modern testing tools which are being used for the generally defined standards and test procedures.

Maintenance

In order to permanently operate an entrance system efficiently, maintenance work must be carried out at regular intervals. In the framework of our services we also offer pre- ventive maintenance con- tracts over the whole product life-cycle. The customer bene- fits from the experience of our service engineers, a high delivery availability and a solid quality of the original spare parts and the works carried out.

Modernization

In order to also keep existing vehicles at the leading edge of technology, RailServices offer consultancy, engineer-ing and implementation of possibilities for modernization such as software updates, control system upgrades, retro- fitting of new safety systems or the installation of com- pletely new drives. This allows for entrance systems which have been in service for years to cope with the increased requirements.

SERVICE OVER THE WHOLE LIFE-CYCLE

Whether it is a single vehicle or a complete rolling stock fleet to be equipped – RailServices take over the installation and commissioning and deliver a reliable service from the first minute through the complete life of the vehicle.

Being part of the Knorr-Bremse Group, RailServices showcase the competence of the group on-site and ensure with its experienced

specialists that customers “remain on track”.

Spare parts and service packages which are tailored to customer wishes go far beyond the usual scope and guarantee short reaction times and a straightforward on-site handling as well as a fast availability of the service engineers and the spare parts supplies.

The modernization of older vehicles as well as the retrofit of complete rolling stock fleets with state-of-the

art safety equipment are as much part of the portfolio as an active obsolescence management and the measurement of wear to prevent critical safety levels.

On the background of its compe-tence and experience, RailServices take care of the rolling stock of our global customers to make sure that they meet the continuously rising requirements and the applicable safety standards.

SAFE IS SAFE:ENDURANCE TESTS LEADING TO MARKET MATURITY

WHEN IFE PRODUCTS SEE A TRAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME they have already overcome the hardest

experience. The IFE testing and valida-

tion phase equals an alpine tour with a

snow storm and temperatures far below

freezing as well as a thunderstorm in a

tropical summer. Furthermore, during

the validation phase our entrance

systems already meet high speed trains

which they may probably never

encounter in real operations.

During the time our entrance systems

spend on the IFE test site, the highest

importance is given to the validation of

all parameters related to technical stan-

dards. The set values are clearly exceeded

during tests, in order to start into real

life with a sufficient safety margin. To

cover the whole spectrum efficiently

and individually in an optimal way, all

necessary equipment is available

in-house.

This includes a two-chamber climatic

plant which is able to produce different

ambient temperatures between -50

and +80 degrees Celsius between the

inner and outer side of a door system as

well as snow- and icemaking devices

and an acoustic chamber. Our hydro-

pulse machine applies real load levels of

many tonnes as they occur in operation.

Furthermore, certain components and

complete entrance systems undergo

intensive endurance tests, simulating

a multiple of the whole product life

in just a few months. The results are

directly and immediately integrated

into our products.
