In-track measuring system IWMS

Category: Standard

In Krefeld, a new wheel gauge for rail vehicles was put into operation. Up to a speed of 20 km/h, in addition to the wheel profile parameters for wheel flange thickness SD, wheel flange height SH and the qR dimension, the wheel diameter, wheel back spacing and guide dimensions are also determined. The entire profile of each wheel is available for wear evaluation and profile optimization. Together with the vehicle number, which is automatically recognized by the system via transponders, all data is stored in a database.

In addition to analysis functions, the software also offers a wear forecast for planning maintenance work. The compact design requires only minor changes to the user's track. The system was designed with special consideration for the space available when using low-floor vehicles.

The overrun measuring device is available in indoor and outdoor versions for measuring speeds of up to 45 km/h.
