Introducing Rifteks real time wheels geometry measurement system

The real time wheels geometry measurement system is designed for contactless automatic measurement of geometrical parameters of railway wheels and uses a combination of 2D laser scanners, mounted wayside in the track area.

The system can be easily installed at any type of rail infrastructure.

The measured parameters include:

1. Full wheel profile
2. Flange width, thickness and slope
3. Rim thickness
4. Back to back distance
5. Wheel diameter

The measured accuracy is:

1. Flange parameters: +/- 0.1 mm
2. Diameter: +/- 0.2 mm
3. Back to back distance: +/- 0.05 mm

3DWheel Real-time Wheels Geometry Measurement System Specification

Operation

The measurement  tool  includes ten 2D laser scanners, RF625 Series (5 pcs for every track side) placed along the rails and calibrated  into one common coordinate system. The measurement cycle starts when inductive sensor detects the wheel. As each wheel passes synchronized 2D laser scanners take wheel profiles at many sections.

All measurement readings are sent through Ethernet to control computer for profiles reconstruction and dimensions calculations. Finally all the data are collected in the host depot computer in wheel sets wear database.
