LEADERSHIP IN ENVIRONMENTAL DEVELOPMENTNot only do we care about our customerssupplying quality products manufactured underISO 9001:2000 certified processes, but, also, wecare about the Environment.
Since Jan 2000 Berco is ISO 14001 certified andhas adopted Environmental Proceduresthroughout the entire manufacturing process. Wehave an Environmental Strategy and wecontinuously check on the progress made towardthe set objectives.
Getting More out of Less. Reduction of energyconsumption, improved use of materials andminimization of waste, allows for a lower impacton the environment.
We have given preference to environmentallyfriendly transportation like trains and boats and wehave begun redesigning our packaging in order touse recyclable materials. We have changed ourpainting processes and now use environmentallyfriendly water-based paint, with a reduction in theamount of pollutant emissions. We have adopteda closed loop cooling system that reuses the waterfrom our heat treatment processes instead ofemitting it into the environment.

guarantee the manufacturing capacitynecessary to meet customers’ needs - interms both of quality and quantity. A newBerco division has been organized toengineer, manufacture and assemble awide variety of different complete tracksystems: working according to thespecifications of both the designdepartment and the customer (co-engineering), the products made by thisunit (specialized in the production of tracksystems complete with undercarriagecomponents, frame, reduction gear,etc…) are superb.
The Complete Track Systems productionunit not only specializes in themanufacture and assembly of completeundercarriage systems (for manyapplications and many machine types andsizes), but is also capable of supplyingwelded parts for earth moving equipment(i.e. excavator arms and booms, loaderarms, drums, etc…).
The new Berco Track System division iscapable of providing the customer with acomplete manufacturing solution, usingthe combined resources of its threefactories. CNC machining centers(workpieces up to 4 meters long), CNCrobotic welding systems, manual weldingcells and a wealth of experience in the fieldare the key factors in ensuring high levelsof quality and capability.
SYSTEMS TAILORED TO CUSTOMER NEEDS
In order to respond to the growing interestshown by OEMs in “turnkey” solutions,Berco now offers a series of completeundercarriage systems for a wide range ofapplications, such as pavers, drillingmachines, road planers, rice combineharvesters, etc…
This new range of products is confirmationof Berco’s ability to provide integratedsolutions, working together with thecustomer from the initial design stage rightthrough to the supply of the fullyassembled undercarriage - the “completetrack system” - with undercarriagecomponents, frame, hydraulics andtransmission systems, ready for directinstallation on the machines on themanufacturer’s assembly line.
Berco is proud of the services it can offerits customers, which include solutionsperfectly tailored to customers’ needs andspecifications, flexible engineering toachieve the best undercarriage solutionquickly and efficiently and comprehensiveproduct support that accompaniescustomers from the design stage rightthrough to installation in the field.

industrial areas (e.g. construction,mining, forestry, agriculture, roadmaintenance, drilling, etc...) and iscapable of maximizing performanceand optimizing costs and servicing.
Berco has an extensive knowledge ofhow to produce undercarriagecomponents and is familiar with theway the parts actually perform in thefield when the machine is working. As aconsequence Berco has decided toapply its know-how to complete tracksystems that are treated as multi-bodies. Structural simulation is veryuseful for previewing machineperformance in the field. Using testequipment specially designed forundercarriage components,performance results can be obtainedfor single components (e.g. a trackroller test rig that relates machine load,application, speed, oil and lubrication,geometric properties and thermalstatus). Subsequently, complete multi-body simulation and prototyping makeit possible to test the system as awhole after the optimization of all theindividual parts.
All the steps in the development, fromthe initial concept to the realization, areplanned together with the OEMcustomer to be sure that theundercarriage system will be able to
COMPLETE TRACK SYSTEM
Designing the right undercarriagesolution is a very complex task. A lot ofvariables and constraints have to betaken into account, especially when theapplication is not standard and requiresad-hoc solutions and skills.
Being sure to create the cheapest and,at the same time, most reliableundercarriage class for a givenapplication is not as simple as it mayappear: track rollers have to be scaledto be strong enough both to withstandconcentrated impulsive loads andsupport the machine in movement; theminimum dynamic performance of themobile equipment to install has to bedefined; the correct stiffness and strokeof the bearing assembly spring has tobe calculated accurately. These are justa few examples of the questions thathave to addressed and resolved whendesigning a complete crawler system.And finding the right answer and, mostimportant, a reliable and optimizedengineering solution, isn‘t always easy.
Berco has been on the undercarriagecomponents and machine tools marketsince 1920. Thanks to its expertise inthe undercarriage field, developed overmany years of activity, Berco can offera vast range of complete solutions forcrawler system OEMs in widely differing

With a capacity of over 250,000 tons of finishedproduct, Berco manufactures more than 180,000track chains, 6,000,000 track shoes,1,300,000 rollers and 380,000 idlers andsprockets per year.
Track links are forged, quenched, tempered,machined and induction hardened on the railsurface. Bushings are turned and drilled in doublespindle lathes, case hardened, ground andsuperfinished (lapped) for longer seal life.
Track shoes are either hot rolled or forged foroptimum internal grain flow and stronger coreresistance, through hardened and stress relievedfor perfect geometry and excellent resistance tobending.
Complete track chains are then assembled in afully automatic transfer line (Berco Design) whereall important parameters (torque, lubrication, sealspositioning, etc.) are monitored.
Rollers are forged in two halves, welded inautomated welding stations, through hardened,machined and finally assembled with shafts,hubs, collars and seal groups.
Sprockets are forged for optimum internal grainflow and stronger core resistance, machined andinduction hardened on the entire tooth profile.
Idlers are fabricated by automated welding of hotrolled rail rims (one piece) with heat treated forgedhub and high resistance side plates. Paintingcompletes the process while final inspection onthe finished products guarantees the Total Qualityof all components.
AUTOMATED PROCESSES AUTOMATIC QUALITYThe entire production process is fully automatedand computer controlled via ComputerManufacturing Technology systems. Thisguarantees a highly reliable process and constantquality of the products.
THE RIGHT PRODUCT AT THE RIGHT TIMEA vast variety of raw materials and flexiblemanufacturing give the competitive advantage ofshort lead times while matching your specificneed. That’s what we also call CustomerSatisfaction.
HEAT TREATED TO TREAT YOU EVEN BETTERQuality materials and state-of-the-artmanufacturing are not enough to guarantee thequality of the finished products. That’s why theheat treating processes are carried out makingsure that all process parameters (temperaturegradients, time, quenching temperature, etc.) areconstantly monitored online.
Hardening and tempering upgrade mechanicalproperties for superior wear resistance, stressrelieving guarantees perfect geometry andexcellent resistance for longer product life.
