Railway Equipment Products
Overview
Since our founding, we started our business of railway equipment for Japanese National Railways. We have contributed to safe and stable railway transportation with turnouts and other truck products. We are also actively working on the development of new products that enable labor savings in track maintenance.
Products
Our Development
- Usage:
- Device for switching train trucks in the station premises or on the main line, and guiding the train
- Features:
- It corresponds to various specifications such as loading for factories, construction work as well as passenger cars. Our technologies are contributing to safe and secure transportation
- Usage:
- At railway traffic lights where rail needs to be electrically isolated and rigidly connected, it is used joining the rail and seam plate with glue
- Features:
- With developing and improving, it is given strength far exceeding the standard, which realized a long life for the products. It contributes to safety and reducing maintenance.
- Usage:
- It is for long rail sections with large amount of expansion / contraction (Shinkansen lines / local train lines)
- Features:
- It uses two matching rails at both ends to absorb expansion and contraction
Cases of Joint Development with Customers
- Usage:
- Used for tie plates to correct the rail gauge positioning at bridges or switches
- Features:
- Rail gauge positioning can be adjusted without removing or inserting fastening screws. It contributes to labor savings during track maintenance and maintaining high accuracy tracks.
- Usage:
- Used for lubrication of rail fastening bolts and tightening and loosening maintenance work of Shinkansen trains
- Features:
- Tightening torque and tightening and loosening speed can be adjusted.
Since the offset structure can avoid obstacles and eliminate the need for obstacle removal work, this device contributes to safety and labor savings
- Usage:
- Test device for loading impact loads on rails
- Features:
- A heavy weight lifted to a predetermined height and falls freely onto the rail, a shock load is applied. It has a structure that can be loaded repeatedly and continuously. This contributes to our evaluation tests at research institutes, etc.
Three Advantages
Railway Turnouts are required high accuracy to ensure safety and stability. We have been producing them for more than 70 years. We also correspond to special rails.
We are assertively involved in new product development and installing suitable facilities to realize reduction of workload of railway maintenance.
Based on the knowledge, technology, and know-how cultivated in our multi-field business, we will solve the total problems of our customers, give shape to their ideas, and help them commercialize.
Manufacturing & Passion
"Track maintenance" work, such as replacing rails and correcting tracks, is mandatory for the safe operation of railways. However, due to the dangerous and heavy work at night, railway companies are suffering from a decrease in the number of skilled workers and a shortage of workers. In order to contribute to the resolution of these issues, we are working on the development of machines that save manpower and labor. By mechanizing jobs that were previously done by hand, it is possible to reduce labor and stabilize work quality.
We have been involved in the production of railway equipment for more than 70 years, and we have the advantage to propose optimal solutions by making use of the extensive experience and know-hows we have cultivated in other businesses. We would like to contribute to more railway companies, including overseas, through our products.
