SessaKlein produce windows self-designed or designed by customers, windows
further to re-engineer vintage or designed by other suppliers. SessaKlein always
offers a customized product, compliant with the technical specifications and
respondent to customers’ price expectations, acting as an independent consultant
on the choice of optimised solutions.
SessaKlein competency in glass technology and its commercial philosophy are the
basis for the technically best possible glass choice among those easily traceable in
the market, so that customers will not suffer from the often underestimated problems
of spares availability in the future.
SessaKlein carries out the whole working process on the aluminium or composite
material frames, including bending, milling, TIG and flash butt welding. Our senior
working personnel is highly skilled in assembly and in special processes such as
structural bonding and anti-vandalism film application, which is performed in a
dedicated clear room.
All the materials and components are chosen from top-class and certified vendors, in
compliance with the international norms, respecting the most importance parameters
for safety (es. fire and smoke) and technical performance.

High velocity train cab-side window:
casting and extruded aluminium frames
High velocity train window: bended and anodized frame,
bonded over glass pane, with patented screwing system
Regional train hopper window:
bended and TIG welded frame, powder coating
Sleeping car revamping window:
designed to save original interiors

SessaKlein windows are designed to meet customer specifications and the most
severe performances in terms of mechanics, fatigue and tightness.
All the production batches are controlled and tested during each single phase for
functionality, dimension tolerances, aesthetic and general features, such as water
tightness, with appropriate quality procedures.
We pay particular attention to the visual aspects and the protection of aluminium to
assure long duration in working conditions and to prevent corrosion, either through
anodization or through liquid and powder coating.
SessaKlein products are engineered bearing in mind essential key benefits such as
standardization of components, acoustic performance, weight balance, ergonomic,
electrical hazard and fire and smoke behaviour by choosing the best, not necessarily
the cheapest, certified materials in the market.
SessaKlein believes that one of the essential elements for a good product
performance is the glass choice, and - acting as independent consultant with good
relations with major glass manufacturers - SessaKlein is able to choose the best
solution for its customers in terms of structural performance, safety, luminous and
solar characteristics, thermal transmittance (U value) and optical distortion.
The glass determination is always driven by the correct balance between costs,
future spares availability and the best possible outcome in operating conditions. We
are experienced in using all the glass types in rolling stock:
:: toughened safety-glass
:: laminated glass
:: insulating glass
:: annealed glass

In 2003 SessaKlein bought and merged Siprotec engineering company and its
advanced design methodologies, innovative and state-of-the-art IT tools and, most
importantly, 20 years of engineering and design experience in rail transport and mass
transit systems.
Responding to the market growing demand for innovative solutions, SessaKlein
Engineering Division is today ready to offer to its customer its extensive know-how
that goes from planning to design, from operation reliability to product safety and
quality.
All SessaKlein new models are 3D designed, using advanced software systems
such as Catià V5, directly linked to customer and suppliers databases via virtual
private networks, on demand or continuously, for co-design purposes.
The native 3D design and calculation generate major benefits throughout the project
phases, almost zeroing interferences, mechanical misalignments and insufficient
tolerances. Furthermore it’s the basis for preventive weight optimization and for
accelerating CNC milling machineries programming, reducing the lead time.
SessaKlein however keeps well in mind its long production experience, so the
“virtual” mock-up becomes a “real” mock-up on which design reviews are
implemented by our engineers and customer’s technicians.
From the “virtual” to the “real” mock-up of Pendolino ETR600 cab side window

Train manufacturers need to shorten installation time and the antigraffiti film
application on the window internal or external sides is considered a time consuming
and risky task.
Therefore SessaKlein has decided to directly offer this value added service and in
2005 has installed a new clean room, dust free by means of an internal overpressure
system, specifically designed for the application of antivandalic and antigraffiti films
over the finished windows.
The application process also includes specific tooling for window manipulation and
packing directly designed by SessaKlein in order not to damage films during the
drying phase.

In 2006, SessaKlein has co-designed and installed a new CNC controlled flash butt
welding machinery which allows to automatically manage all the welding parameters,
with tremendous results in terms of reliability of the welded cord and aesthetic effect
in case of frame anodization.
Traditional TIG welding is also a major SessaKlein's process, using the best
aluminium TIG rods for certified metallurgical and aesthetic result.
SessaKlein is a pioneer in structural bonding in the windows sector since the early
'90s, originally in high speed trains.
Now this technology is largely applied also to mass market solutions and SessaKlein
is organized in terms of skilled people and machinery for producing large batches of
bonded windows.
