A-B Wheel Profile Gauge

The device is designed for the continuous representation of the rolling stock wheel treads. The measurements may be carried out without taking out the wheel sets. The operator mounts the gauge onto the wheel and then guides the spherical measuring tip along the wheel tread surface. The measurement results are stored in the memory that is large enough to store several dozen measured profiles. When the measurements are completed, their results are transferred to the hard disk of a PC computer.

The relevant software makes it possible to compare the measured profile with the theoretical profile, comparing several profiles measured at different times, dimensioning of the drawings and annotating them. The gauge may be used for planning the machining operations on the ground wheel-lathes, for checking the correctness of the entire profile made, for registering the developing wear in time both for the maintenance needs and for the research projects.
