Know-how in straightening and bending for railway reliability

Our straightening and bending presses, specially adapted to metallic materials, are designed to offer precise control of part geometry, ensuring their seamless integration into railway applications. Whether straightening axles, body structures or complex structural components, we ensure a high-precision process, minimizing errors and increasing part durability. This advanced technology reduces future maintenance costs while ensuring optimum repeatability of straightening operations.

Lightness and innovation for enhanced performance

At the same time, PINETTE PEI excels in the development of forming technologies for composite materials, helping to lighten trains and reduce their energy footprint. By integrating our state-of-the-art forming solutions, the rail industry can achieve significant gains in weight and energy consumption, while guaranteeing the structural robustness essential for demanding applications.

A trusted partner for your rail projects

With an approach focused on precision, reliability and innovation, PINETTE PEI supports its rail customers in optimizing their operations, from defining needs to implementing solutions. We are committed to offering straightening, bending and forming technologies that meet the strictest standards, while being flexible and adaptable to the specifics of each project.

Protective skirt

PINETTE PEI supplies production lines for protective skirts manufactured by thermoplastic stamping. These automated lines enable short cycle times and high production rates.

Interior trim

For the production of interior trim parts, we supply highly automated turnkey and customized RTM and HP-RTM lines offering high repeatability.

>> RTM

Window coverings

For the production of window frames, PINETTE PEI is a designer, manufacturer and supplier of compression presses and production lines for SMC – GMT – BMC applications. These presses – up to 40,000 kN – are equipped with an active parallelism control system and can be combined with peripheral systems such as loading/unloading robots and cutting units.

Large exterior panels

Large outer panels need to combine lightness, complex shape for aerodynamics, and rigidity. That’s why they’re ideal for C-RTM production.
PINETTE PEI supplies fully automated C-RTM production lines offering repeatability and net-shape parts.

>> C-RTM

Axles

PINETTE PEI also supplies hydraulic presses for mounting and dismounting various components on bogie axles.

>> Wedging and shifting press for axle assembly and disassembly

Rails

PINETTE PEI supplies hydraulic presses for bending and straightening rails without changing tooling and without having to turn the rails over during the operation.
