The TSC trolley measures track geometry. The measurement
results include values of track gauge, cant, horizontal and vertical irregularities along with the calculated gradient and twist parameters.
Track measurement
Back to the listTRACKSCAN METRO
The TRACKSCAN METRO device consists of two components devices for full track geometry measurement and rail headwear + the measurement of conductor rail for both sides. Additionally, the device is able to record results of visual track inspections which help the user with analysis in dedicated software
The trolley is provided with a colourful backlit display and a comfortable keyboard. Measurement results and information about exceedings of allowed values are perfectly visible even at night. Dedicated keys of typical defects facilitate the recording and annotation of cracks in welds or rails, missing bolts, sleepers requiring replacement, etc.
The trolley control panel can be removed, facilitating the overview of results after the completion of measurements. The transfer of data to a PC is performed via a USB Pendrive.

The trolley is supplied with the GeoTEC System software (for PCs) enabling, among other things, the graphic presentation and comparison of measurement results as well as the printing of measurement reports or calculating typical track quality factors. Measurement results are also available in the tabular form containing track defect locations. Measurement data can be exported in MS Word, MS Excel and PDF formats.
In addition, the software enables the saving of measured profiles in the DXF format, comparing measured profiles with model profiles, automatic sizing and printing of rail profile-related reports.
