Lightweight components for railways
Our expertise in rail vehicle construction combines decades of experience with state-of-the-art laser technology. We pursue a clear goal: to make vehicles lighter, more efficient, more sustainable, and safer.
With us, you get solutions that are economically, ecologically, and technically leading – today and in the future.
Our USP
Our strength lies in the combination of many years of experience, innovative technology, and maximum vertical integration. We are more than just a supplier—we are a development partner that makes rail vehicles lighter, more efficient, and safer.
What sets us apart:
- We are professionals in rail vehicle construction
- Laser welding as a key technology for lightweight construction
- Everything from a single source: optimization of component design, application development, manufacturing, quality assurance, and documentation
- Flexible from prototype to series production
- Transferable expertise for other mobility sectors as well
Lightweight construction
Lightweight construction is the key to energy-efficient and economical mobility. Using modern laser welding, we combine maximum strength with minimum weight—creating freedom for design, economy, and sustainability.
The advantages of lightweight construction:
- Less weight due to reduced material requirements
- Less weight = lower energy consumption and lower operating costs
- Tailored blanks and T-joints for material and space efficiency
- New design possibilities thanks to more compact structures
- More capacity for freight or passenger transport
- Safety through high-strength steels and precise welding processes
Sustainability
Photon lightweight construction not only makes mobility more efficient, but also more sustainable. Every kilogram saved means less energy consumption, less CO₂, and lower operating costs—over the entire life cycle of a vehicle.
Our sustainability contributions:
- Energy savings during driving thanks to lower weight
- Less wear and tear on vehicles and infrastructure
- Resource conservation through reduced material requirements and optimal recyclability
- Modern, energy-efficient laser systems in manufacturing
- Better environmental performance and ESG compliance for our customers
Quality assurance
Quality is not a promise, but part of our process. With state-of-the-art measurement technology, certified processes, and complete documentation, we ensure that our components meet the highest standards—reliable, precise, and safe.
Our quality assurance includes:
- 3D measurement technology for components up to XXL dimensions
- Mobile testing systems for maximum flexibility
- Automated process monitoring during welding
- Certified manufacturing processes (ISO 9001, DIN EN 15085, etc.)
- Complete traceability back to the raw material
