DEVICE FOR TESTING AND REFURBISHING A SWITCH MECHANISM FOR A RAILWAY SWITCH

摘要

The invention relates to a device for testing and refurbishing a switch mechanism (26) for a railway switch. This comprises a test bench (9) for mechanical and electrical testing of the functional capability of the actuating drive (26) according to predeterminable test instructions. According to the invention the test bench (9) is disposed and can be operated in a transportable and walk-in large-capacity container (1). Thus the testing facility can be set up in a mobile manner at different locations of switch operators, such that a costly transport of actuating drives between operating location and the works of the manufacturer for general overhaul is no longer necessary.
