The cable catcher is one of the most important safety components because, following a derailment, what comes after the cable catcher is a void: the passenger’s life depends on the operational reliability of the cable catcher.
The problem:
Cable fall due to circular cable oscillations
“ The conventional cable catcher hooks used to date were proving to be unreliable. A design solution had to be found that would reliably prevent a cable fall following derailment”.
TU-Wien – Prof. Ing. Dr. Edwin ENGEL
The solution:
ARTI Cable catcher 3PA technology
Higher safety due to:
- Double cable catcher hooks
- Cable catcher tray provided with 3-piont impact
- Optimal cable oscillation damping
