The commissioning of the stamping machine for railroad wheels at the Czech production plant BONATRANS was successfully completed. We would like to thank our customer and partner ZDAS as well as BONATRANS for the good cooperation, which enabled us to deliver and commission the machine faster than planned. All in all, the machine could be put into operation two months earlier.

The machine stamps hot railroad wheels at up to 1,100 degrees Celsius. It is equipped with three fast travel axes and a robust WheSt-14 stamping head that can hold up to 14 different characters. It was particularly important to achieve the fastest possible stamping in order to shorten the cycle time in production. This was achieved by our special hydraulic stamping head, which makes it possible to control all stamping symbols almost simultaneously and to complete the entire stamping process within a very short time. The stamping machine runs continuously in several shifts without significant downtimes and thus enables the production of railroad wheels to be increased further.

We were able to carry out another cold run test (CRT) of a stamping machine of the type WHEST®-14. For this, our customers ZDAS and the end customer BONATRANS visited us. The cold test went perfectly and the machine has already been shipped.

The wheel stamping machine WHEST®-14 is supposed to mark hot wheels at the BONATRANS GROUP plant in the Czech Republic. For this purpose, the stamping machine is arranged in the production line after the press. It is capable of stamping hot wheels up to 1000 ° C within a very short time with a 20-character marking sequence. In addition, the WHEST®-14 is equipped with our reading system ReaSy, which is the most reliable character recognition for stamp marks.

At the beginning of June, we welcomed the JFE team from Japan to the CRT and functional test of the stamping machine STEMA® JU 33.

As expected, the CRT ran perfectly, which meant that the delivery could take place as planned.

The stamping machine is now on its way to Japan and we look forward to the installation and commissioning in September at JFE in Japan.

We are very pleased to have won the Japanese steel producer Nippon Steel Yawata Works as a new customer. After our successful cooperation with JFE Steel Corporation from Japan, we can further expand our activities in Japan. We also thank our representative, Mr. Takahiko Amanuma, for their excellent on-site support.

In order to enable standardized stamping for domestic as well as foreign products, we will again supply a STEMA® JU33, as already for JFE. A system for switching between domestic and foreign symbols is also included. As usual in Japan, high quality and reliability requirements are placed on us, and we are proud to be able to meet these high requirements.

On 07.05.2019 the contract with Nippon Steel Yawata Works was signed and already in the summer of 2020 the second rail stamping machine will be put into operation in Japan, more precisely in Kitkyushu City. We are pleased about this order and thank you for the trust.

It is with great pleasure that we announce that we will again be able to produce a rail stamping machine STEMA® JU15 for Wuhan Iron & Steel Company (WISCO).

After successfully commissioning the first STEMA JU15 in Wuhan in August 2013, this is now WISCO‘s second order. Due to the excellent reliability of the first system and the already existing long-term partnership, it was clear to the customer that the new stamping machine also had to come from Berger Engineering again.

The contract was signed at the end of March 2019, and by early 2020 the machine will arrive at its destination. We are pleased about this order and thank you for the trust.

Between ŽĎAS, a.s. and BERGER Engineering has jointly signed a contract to supply WheSt and ReaSy to BONATRANS (Czech Republic).
