Wheel measurement

The electronic wheel wear caliper is designed for measurement of h, e1/e2 and qR parameters, characterising the wheel tread wear. Measurements can be performed directly on vehicles, i.e. without rolling the wheelsets out. The electronic caliper is very easy to use and reliable. Prior to measurement, the operator fixes the device to the wheel with its magnetic foot and presses the button initiating the automatic measurement cycle.

During measurements, the moving measuring tips touch the measured surface precisely at points specified by the railway regulations. Values of h, e1/e2, and qR parameters appear on the gauge panel display within two seconds after the initiation of the measurement and are clearly visible both in direct sunlight and in a dark inspection pit.

The gauge is equipped with a control panel with colour backlit display, and a comfortable keyboard. Measurement results and information about the exceedings of the limit values are clearly visible even in a dark inspection pit.

The gauge is delivered with PC software that allows for: archiving of measurement results, comparison of results, as well as printing of measurement reports. Measurement data can be exported to MS Word, MS Excel and PDF formats. The software delivered with the gauge also allows for collecting measurement results from all wheel measurement devices and generating aggregate reports.
