Schroff now offers an extensive product range with subracks, cases, VME and CPCI systems as well as indoor and outdoor cabinets for the use in different areas of railway and traffic technology.
The products conform to the railway standards that are relevant to these applications. Examples of application are, for example, enclosures for electronics to LZB (linienzugbeeinflussungs-systems = service train guidance system) in underground trains and enclosures and subracks for the mobile transmission systems of the digital communications network (GSM-R).
In signal boxes, amongst others, subracks for CompactPCI units for railtracks and signals guidance are in use. High speed train routes are equipped with robust outdoor cabinets that have optimal climate protection for the measurement and control technology of the safety systems.
For use inside trains, too, the Proline series indoor cabinets and the europacPRO subracks offer all that is needed for the secure housing of motor control or train safety systems, with modular design and installation possibilities.
Up to 80% of Schroff's packaging solutions are based on pre-tested standard products, which can be used without modification. Through active involvement with the international standards committees, Schroff guarantees adherence to global standards.

Editor's Choice Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
Dross formation is an inevitable consequence of wave soldering. It occurs when molten solder comes into contact with oxygen, forming metal oxides that float on the surface of the solder bath. Over time, this oxidation byproduct accumulates and must be removed to maintain solder quality and process consistency.

Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
With the move to Pb-free soldering, most of the attention has been paid to reflow temperatures, component compatibility, and reliability concerns, but the implications for inspection, particularly X-ray inspection, are equally important and often underestimated.
