Funded projects
Completion of the brake unit through the development of a driver's brake valve
As part of the project, a driver's brake valve was developed that can be used for multiple units and high-speed trains (with an electro-pneumatic solution concept) as well as for locomotives (with classic UIC characteristics). This enables comprehensive use in the rail network according to the UIC or application-dependent multiple unit concept.
Development of a production process for the manufacture of a new type of mass-optimized lightweight compact brake unit for rail vehicles
Lightweight construction and its application-oriented system integration in vehicles is one of the key technologies for future efficient and low-emission vehicle concepts in the field of rail transportation. KES is currently developing a production process for an intelligent compact brake unit (CBU) for rail vehicles in order to exploit the potential.
Development of a material- and topology-optimized intelligent compact braking system for rail vehicles
KES GmbH & Co. KG is currently developing the intelligent compact brake unit KES CBU 300. The aim of the development is to increase performance while reducing life cycle costs for the entire brake system. On the one hand, the focus is on the integration of electronic measurement technology in order to develop an intelligent brake unit. On the other hand, weight optimization and an increase in the thermal-mechanical load capacity are to be achieved by optimizing the brake holder structure in terms of material, shape, size and manufacturing process.
