Purpose
The system is designed for automatic measurement of geometric parameters of hot railway wheels immediately after rolling.
Key features
- 100% laser control of every hot wheel’s geometry.
- Protective shutters and an air knife shield the laser scanners from hot scale.
- No blind spots: a complete digital 3D wheel model is generated.
- Algorithmic wheel centering (combined with mechanical centering) using profile sensor data.
- High operational reliability thanks to separating the measuring module from the base via protective enclosures and a rotary mechanism.
