Devices for measuring geometrical parameters of rolling stock wheel sets

Application domain

The devices are intended for measuring diameter of wheel rolling circle, geometric parameters  of  wheel flanges, tire thickness and for taking roll surface wear profile of wheel sets of railway, tube and tram vehicles.


Wheel diameter measuring gauge, IDK Series

Photo of device Electronic gauge is designed for measuring wheel rolling circle diameter. Measurements are made directly on rolling stock without wheel set roll-out. The measurement of the diameter is performed according to the "three points" technique, without the complete wheel coverage. The gauge contains numeric display to show the value of the wheel diameter

 


Laser
wheel profilometer

Profilometer photo The laser profilometer is employed for measuring geometrical parameters of the wheel flange (thickness, slope, height), tire thickness and for taking full profile of the wheel roll surface.
An RF60
3 laser module placed inside the profilometer casing performs linear scanning of the wheel surface being driven by a mini-stepper.  An sensor placed inside the grip makes it possible to measure the tire thickness.  The digital display unit connected to the profilometer performs conversion  co-ordinates  with respect to the wheel, calculation, display and storage of parameters and profiles (up to 250 in number) for subsequent transmission to a wheel-pair wear database management system.

We offer two models, IKP5  with digital readout device and IKP5M with PDA and Bluetooth

Software for automated wear control of wheel sets

Basic functions

-manual and automatic (using IKP series devices) entry of data about wheel sets wear level for the locomotive fleet of a depot;
-automatic control of the wear in excess of the permissible level;
-maintenance of inspection reports and wear records log;
-automatic formation of reports on the intensity of wheel sets wear;
-general analysis of the wheel sets condition;
-projection of the date the limiting wear is reached;
-automatic analysis and optimisation of end re-rolling operations taking the wheel sets reserve into account;
-in-process examination of wheel sets profile changes as compared to any normal profile (using a IKP laser profile-meter);
-automatic formation of any records and reports.
