New equipment for testing tanks launched in Omsk

The only manufacturer of tracks for heavy armored vehicles in Russia has launched new testing equipment tanks. According to the press service of the government of the Omsk region, the installation was made specifically for the Omsktransmash plant and will improve the quality of heavy domestic armored vehicles.

The new installation allows you to expand the range and range of tested parts in accordance with the requirements of GOST and is necessary to control the quality of parts in the production of modern tanks. Testing equipment developed in the city of Armavir and manufactured in a single copy on the basis of mass-produced installations instead of an outdated testing machine

- said the press service.

The new equipment installed at the plant of transport engineering "Omsktransmash" will make it easier to armored vehicles and maintain its characteristics. Now the operator can not only observe the process, but also capture data using digital technology.

The old 1976 equipment of the year of production was worn out, and the lack of spare parts made it difficult to repair and required the constant presence of a repairman and an electrician. New installation is easily controlled by one person. In addition, it is more efficient, easy to manage and takes up less space. A significant advantage is that it is assembled from Russian components and is in no way inferior to foreign analogues, and in terms of maintainability is many times better than them

- quotes the press service of the regional government of the first deputy chief engineer of the plant Omsktransmash Sergey Shvadchina.

Omsk Transport Engineering Plant is an enterprise that has a closed technological cycle of tank production. In Soviet and post-Soviet years, the plant was known as a manufacturer of the main battle tanks of the T-80 and T-80U army. With the entry into the Uralvagonzavod holding there, the T-55AM, T-72 were being upgraded, and now they are re-equipping their own production tanks. In the line of special equipment - heavy fighting flamethrower systems, floating tracked conveyor, special fire engines, bridge mechanized complexes, bridge laying and other equipment, reports TASS.

The armor is strong and our tanks are fast ...

The main thing here is that the Omsk tank is alive, and the new test complex testifies to further perspectives. And our tanks are fast, especially Omsk T-80s with a gas turbine engine.

As a child, it was very interesting when tanks went behind your house at night along the road, rattling and clattering caterpillars. Unforgettable impression.

[zadorin1974]

I agree with you !!! So the factory defended against bankruptcy !!

[rumatam]

The only manufacturer of tracks for heavy armored vehicles in Russia, and it was the "Black Eagle, 1st flying.

[Herculesic]

It’s good that the plant is alive, if we knew how busy it is, how many people work there! !!

[Sverdlov]

Shh !!! This is secret information!

[rumatam]

80 people of them 50 "manual".

[Valery Saitov]

Is it weak to search on the Internet? 5092 employees.
Omsk Plant of Transport Engineering (until July 2014, KBTM OJSC (Design Bureau of Transport Engineering) [1]) is a Russian engineering company, a subsidiary of OAO NPK Uralvagonzavod. Located in Omsk. He makes military equipment, road-building machines, equipment for the oil and gas production complex, and fulfills orders for the production of railway equipment.

If I understood this phrase correctly

and now they are re-equipping tanks of their own production.

it turns out that the plant is alive and is modernizing the T-80. Selected means ...

[Kasym]

There was recently information about the modernization of the 300 T-80. Felts in the Arctic, felts in the Kantemirov division. I am glad that they were not written off to the reserve.

[Svarog51]

Dauren, welcome

There was recently information about the modernization of the 300 T-80. Felts in the Arctic, felts in the Kantemirov division

Apparently I missed it, thanks dear, for the good news. So, in the performance of this task, the plant will be reanimated.

[Kasym]

Good evening! Always happy for good people.
Two factories + repair facilities = remarkable industrial potential. Note that the queue is being built on Russian tanks after Syria. Iraq ordered a bunch, there is still someone there (whom they are still silent about). Hindus want modernization. Russia is also engaged in its own test of Armata. So the work has appeared and Omsk will not be redundant in any way. Glad for them.
First they wrote for the Arctic, then for Cantemirovka. Probably go to two addresses. You have practically no deserts, so GTD is in demand.

Very good news, nice and warm words. You said Dauren. Offer a hand of friendship and switch to "you."

[Kasym]

Always happy!
Our repair in Semipalatinsk on defense order since 11 years. BMP, BTR and T-72 on planned modernization.

So Omsk is part of UVZ, and Tagil no longer makes sense to press it. And about the upgraded T-80 ... here it is:

On August 24, 2017, at the Army-2017 International Military Technical Forum, JSC Uralvagonzavod Scientific Industrial Corporation and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation entered into an overhaul contract with deep modernization of T-80 tanks. The contract will be executed by the Omsk Omsktransmash JSC (which is part of the Uralvagonzavod NPK) that previously produced T-80 tanks.
On September 7, the head of the Main Armored Directorate (GABTU) of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Alexander Shevchenko, said that the GABTU "carried out state tests of the modernized T-90M tank, which is being developed in OKR [development work]" Breakthrough-3 ", and preparations are underway for testing the modernized tank T-80BVM. "

In addition, Omsk was also engaged in the modernization of the T-72 in the T-72B3.

Alex, thank you for the detailed answer Although I did not happen to become a tanker, tanks are my old hobby. Everything is interesting.

[Settlement Oparyshev]

hahaha was amused by the news that the old decrepit test installation required two whole workers! One locksmith, the second electrician! But the new installation requires only one electrician! I am glad for the salary of the plant.

The track will undergo testing. The equipment arrived in Omsk from Armavir.
A new installation for testing tanks appeared at the Omsk Transport Engineering Plant. It allows you to test track fasteners. As noted at the factory, this will expand the range of tested parts. Serious quality control is necessary in the production of modern tanks.

The new bench equipment was developed in Armavir by the ZIPO company. It was originally made for Omsk on the terms of reference of Omsktransmash JSC and made in a single copy.

Using sensors and instruments, the degree of deformation of the tracked equipment is monitored. This allows the operator not only to monitor the process, but also to capture data using digital technology.

Note that the modern production of military equipment requires the use of new technologies. This entails the replacement of obsolete equipment. Now in tank building design problems are relevant. To improve the technical characteristics of vehicles and increase the security of the crew, new technological solutions are necessary, while it is important not to increase the weight of the tank.

Sergey Shvadchin, First Deputy Chief Engineer of Omsktransmash JSC:

- The old equipment of 1976 was worn out, and the lack of spare parts made it difficult to repair and required the constant presence of a repairman and an electrician. The new installation is easily controlled by one person. In addition, it is more efficient, easy to manage and takes up less space.

The main advantage of the new equipment is that it is assembled from Russian components. As noted at the factory, the stand is not inferior to foreign counterparts.

Recall that Omsktransmash is now the only manufacturer of tracks for heavy armored vehicles in Russia.

That damn survived ............. The only manufacturer of tracks for heavy armored vehicles in Russia, a disgrace, the tanks themselves did in the war, and after that, now they don’t count on tracks or can’t do it anymore.
