As part of the presentation of the study focus in mechanical engineering at RWTH Aachen University, IFS opened its doors to give interested students a realistic insight into our research.
In addition to the classic topics, such as wheel/rail tests on the single-wheel rolling test stand, the test environment "vibration test stand", and innovative products, such as our freight car chassis with GRP frame, we also showed our autonomous shunting robot, our development for vegetation control and for laying photovoltaic elements in the track.
We were supported by the Oberhausen-based company GHH-Bonatrans, which manufactures wheelsets and loose-wheel bogies for streetcars and provided catering for the guests with barbecue food and cool drinks. Many thanks for this.
