The new IKP-5 railway wheel profiler accurately measures geometrical parameters of the rail wheel flange (thickness, slope, height), rim/tire thickness and for taking full profile of the wheel roll surface. The IKP-5 2017 model features improved accuracy as well as increased processor memory, increased number of measurements and increased battery life. It also operates at a wider operating temperature range, comes with optional IP64 rating and most importantly works on shinny surfaces and large slopes increasing its performance as a whole.
Other models include the IKP-5-short Series for tramway wheels and IKP-5-Super-short Series for tramway wheels.

Problems
Solved
Adaptive scanning speed (speed changes depending on surface quality) Increased dynamic range of laser sensor
Operator mounts the laser scanning module onto the wheel to be measured. Having received a command from PDA or PC, the laser module performs non-contact scanning of the wheel surface.
Measurement results (geometric parameters and profile of the surface) are displayed on PDA, can be saved in the PDA memory, and transferred to the PC database. Simultaneously, additional parameters can be saved: operator number, side identifier(left or right wheel), axisnumber, locomotive (carriage) number, wheel pair number, etc.
Example: IKP-Т – standard magnets; standard support plates; presence of the rim measurement rod. IKP-F-I – reinforced magnets; custom support plates. IKP-Short-T – the shorten handle; presence of the rim measurement rod.
