INCREASING REQUIREMENTS MEETING TRAIN SCHEDULES AND HIGHER COMFORT EXPECTATIONS OF PASSENGERS are some of the new challenges
the manufacturers of entrance systems are faced with. Notwithstanding this, safety, reliability and availability of entrance
systems remain the key priorities. At the same time improvements for an easy use by persons with reduced mobility are
requested.
As global leader in entrance systems for passenger coaches as well as for pressure-sealed door systems for high-speed trains,
we cover the complete range of market requirements by our sliding plug doors E3 and DET from 600 to 1600 mm entrance
width. The offer is complemented by a variety of door leaf types and access devices such as sliding or movable step systems.
Further development is not only driven by a technical and functional excellence but also by long-term economic considera-
tions. Our products are characterized by a particularly low-maintenance and easy-to-install design featuring the lowest life
cycle costs.
IFE is globally renowned as a reliable partner for the supply of entrance systems. The range of offered services, however, goes
far beyond this area and furthermore includes installation, commissioning as well as maintenance over the whole product
life of our door systems, including spare parts management.

THE IFE FOLDING STEP (RIC) for passenger
coaches is linked to the door drive and
needs no own drive and control
components. Therefore, maintenance
efforts are reduced, the reliability is
improved and the installation space is
minimised. The reduced number of
components leads to a reduced
installation and adjustment effort for
our customers
THE SWIVELLING STEP FROM IFE extends
to a fixed distance, due to its
kinematics. IFE offers various kinematic
solutions that can be adapted
according to the specific needs of a
project. Our long-time experience
puts us in a position to respond to
specific requirements and to serve
them by proven concepts.
THE SLIDING STEP X4 FROM IFE is character-
ised by its extremely compact design
and its highest level of reliability.
The statically determined 3-point
guiding system with an integrated

DECADES OF SERVICEWITHOUT COMPROMISES
Assembly & Commissioning
RailServices offer a pro- fessional support from the initial installation of a door system and the accompany-ing training of customers’ local staff up to the instal- lation of complete entrance system series for complete vehicles. Following customer wishes, specialists will be available at customer premises at firm conditions.
Repairs
Servicing of entrance systems is offered at fixed conditions and processing times and there is an additional possi- bility to plan them in regular intervals. A special advan-tage for the customer is the use of original IFE spare parts and modern testing tools which are being used for the generally defined standards and test procedures.
Maintenance
In order to permanently operate an entrance system efficiently, maintenance work must be carried out at regular intervals. In the framework of our services we also offer pre- ventive maintenance con- tracts over the whole product life-cycle. The customer bene- fits from the experience of our service engineers, a high delivery availability and a solid quality of the original spare parts and the works carried out.
Modernization
In order to also keep existing vehicles at the leading edge of technology, RailServices offer consultancy, engineer-ing and implementation of possibilities for modernization such as software updates, con- trol system upgrades, retro- fitting of new safety systems or the installation of com- pletely new drives. This allows for entrance systems which have been in service for years to cope with the increased requirements.

WHEN IFE PRODUCTS SEE A TRAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME they have already overcome the hardest
experience. The IFE testing and valida-
tion phase equals an alpine tour with a
snow storm and temperatures far below
freezing as well as a thunderstorm in a
tropical summer. Furthermore, during
the validation phase our entrance
systems already meet high speed trains
which they may probably never
encounter in real operations.
During the time our entrance systems
spend on the IFE test site, the highest
importance is given to the validation of
all parameters related to technical stan-
dards. The set values are clearly exceeded
during tests, in order to start into real
life with a sufficient safety margin. To
cover the whole spectrum efficiently
and individually in an optimal way, all
necessary equipment is available
in-house.
This includes a two-chamber climatic
plant which is able to produce different
ambient temperatures between -50
and +80 degrees Celsius between the
inner and outer side of a door system as
well as snow- and icemaking devices
and an acoustic chamber. Our hydro-
pulse machine applies real load levels of
many tonnes as they occur in operation.
Furthermore, certain components and
complete entrance systems undergo
intensive endurance tests, simulating
a multiple of the whole product life
in just a few months. The results are
directly and immediately integrated
into our products.
