Vossloh Cogifer has developed new point actuators, which can be either positioned on the sleepers or placed in the spaces between them. They are already in use on some extremely different railways: carrying heavy trains in the north of Sweden and high-speed ones on the new lines in Turkey. The "EasySwitch R" model has an electro-hydraulic actuator, which is suitable for use in the Nordic winter. In this case, the whole of the mechanism is integrated in the cavity inside a steel sleeper. Traditionally, all Cogifer points used to be switched with just one motor. For the newly-built line in Turkey, the company has now delivered an electro-mechanical solution with several motors. This so-called "Turkish Switch also incorporates a VCC blade-locking device and Paulvé detectors as central components.
