The ICE 4, which was jointly developed by Siemens and Bombardier, is fitted with GRP door supports from TC. The door supports are installed immediately above the sliding doors. The 14 different types of door support are based on a GRP pultruded profile. The door support is a highly complex component which TC has once again been about to demonstrate its performance as a systems supplier. It consists of different aluminium profiles, brackets for the power supply and emergency brake, and infrared sensors. In addition, many door supports are fitted with a lockable flap and toilet ‘occupied’ displays. All of the adhesive bonds on the door support meet the requirements of DIN 6701. The entire door support is painted in two colours.

The side walls of urban and overland buses are put under major strain by the daytoday demands placed on them stone chipping, scratches and minor and major accidents quickly cause damage to the thinwalled metal sheets found in older models. What's more, in some cases the effects of weather and chemicals such as deicing salts and cleaning products can lead to unsightly signs of corrosion, which can damage the image of the bus company among its customers. This makes repairs and touchups necessary. As noncorrosive plating is not always available for older vehicles, TC manufactures side walls made of glass fibrereinforced plastic that are suitable for all such models and makes, and provide an optimal and durable alternative to older metallic plating.

roller shutter housing connector We worked with a customer from the construction sector to develop a GRP connecting element that optimally connects the window frame and window blind box. This transfers the high mechanical loads exerted by wind in an optimal way. At the same time, the GRP profile improves the insulation capability of the entire system. The GRP profiles are drilled and counterbored on a large scale using a CNC machine, thus making installation significantly easier for the workmen.
