Railway sector: precision manufacturing in the industrial entry phase
The European rail sector operates within demanding regulatory frameworks such as IRIS/ISO 22163 and under technical requirements defined by each OEM. In this environment, any dimensional deviation, process error, or lack of traceability in materials and treatments can delay validations, testing, or the commissioning of rail systems.
Erosystem enters the railway sector as an industrial supplier specializing in precision CNC machining and electroerosion (Wire EDM and Sinker EDM), focused on the manufacture of single parts and short series based on drawings or 3D models with technical specifications defined by the customer.
Fabricamos únicamente aquellos componentes cuya viabilidad técnica podemos asegurar con medios productivos y procesos internos contrastados, aplicando criterios de control dimensional y trazabilidad ya consolidados en sectores industriales de alta exigencia, para minimizar riesgos técnicos y operativos en fases críticas del proyecto.
Erosystem’s real fit in railway projects
We act as an industrial executor under a blueprint or 3D model, manufacturing machined and eroded components according to the specifications and technical requirements defined by railway clients.
Our focus is on applications that require quality of execution, where process control and traceability, as well as the resulting geometric and dimensional accuracy, are determining factors for the correct functioning of the railway system or equipment in which they are integrated.
Our procedure in the railway sector is based on three operational blocks:
Technical definition of scope
- Analysis of railway customer requirements.
- Review and management of technical documentation.
- Alignment of the project scope with the client.
Controlled manufacturing
- Stockpiling of specific raw materials for each railway component.
- CNC machining and precision electro-erosion in single pieces and short series.
- Management of heat and surface treatments associated with manufactured parts.
- Express manufacturing and delivery service for the Basque Country and neighboring provinces.
Document control and delivery
- Certificates of materials used and treatments applied.
- Dimensional reports according to the scope agreed with the client.
- Individual traceability of each manufactured item, if required.
- Regular supply of goods in Spain, France and other European markets.
We work in strict confidentiality, protecting the client’s know-how and all shared information, regardless of its nature, through the signing of specific and bilateral NDA agreements typical of the railway industry.
Types of parts and plausible railway applications
Our potential activity in the railway sector is focused on the manufacture of:
- Medium-sized machined supports, housings and frames.
- Machined components for railway electrical and electronic systems.
- Tools for manufacturing, maintaining or testing railway equipment.
- Railway MRO parts manufactured to order and not in the catalog.
Excluding the supply of safety components, critical structural parts and elements directly related to rolling stock and safety of the railway vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of projects can Erosystem help me with?
Erosystem is an expert in developing comprehensive solutions in precision machining and electro-erosion for single parts, short series, and turnkey tooling.
We have a team of qualified engineers and advanced technology to design, manufacture, measure and assemble all types of mechanical components that require to be produced by means of precision machining, grinding and electro-erosion techniques.
Can I request a quote without having a technical drawing?
It depends. If you’re looking to have a specific, pre-designed component manufactured, we require a technical drawing or a 3D model showing all the specifications that must be met.
Conversely, if you have an idea, a sketch, or a physical sample, our engineers will review the details with you to offer a proposal tailored to your needs.
How long should I wait to receive a quote?
Depending on the complexity of the request. For the manufacture of specific components according to a drawing, you will normally receive a quote in less than 3 business days.
For poorly defined projects that require analysis and conceptual design, or complex projects where a wide variety of manufacturing processes, materials and treatments come into play, the bidding time is extended.
However, our sales team will be in constant contact with you to understand your needs and keep you informed while we prepare the optimal proposal for you.
What delivery times can I expect from the moment I place a formal order?
It will depend on the type of project, the complexity of the parts to be manufactured, and the quantities required.
In any case, we will use all available resources to meet the delivery milestones you require, and our sales team will advise you from the beginning so that you have a realistic expectation in this regard.
Do you provide technical support before subscribing to the service?
Yes. Our engineers are dedicated to understanding each application in order to advise you from the consultation phase, with the aim of resolving all the doubts you may have regarding precision machining processes, electrical discharge machining, and other aspects related to the project.
The goal is to define the optimal manufacturing process so that the economic proposal is as competitive as possible.
Do you perform machining of single or unique parts?
Yes. We are experts in the precision machining of single or unique parts according to the customer’s drawings.
Do you perform prototype machining?
Yes. We manufacture prototypes for technical validation in the early stages of development and assist you in the industrialization process with a functional, effective, efficient, ergonomic, and cost-effective approach. This service is ideal for clients who need to validate the component before mass production.
