In-transit wheel diagnosis for railways
Optimize railway safety and efficiency by diagnosing wheel imperfections in transit, reducing costly track damage and improving train reliability with continuous, automated monitoring.
Diagnoses Wheels and Monitors Loads In-Transit
The MULTIRAIL WheelScan from Schenck Process is a sophisticated in-transit wheel diagnosis system designed for the efficient monitoring of rail networks. It accurately diagnoses wheel imperfections, monitors load distributions, and reduces noise emissions through its dynamic weighing capability. The system can operate at speeds from 10 km/h to 250 km/h, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into high-speed rail operations. Targeting railway companies and infrastructure managers, it prevents track damage by identifying potential hazards before they cause costly downtime or accidents. This system is EBA-approved and equipped with sensors to ensure long-term operational stability, offering automated track inspection and reduced personnel costs. The quick installation process is facilitated by pre-calibrated weighbeams that fit into existing tracks, requiring no new foundations. The technology supports continuous rail installations, delivering precise, real-time data essential for proactive maintenance and optimized railway logistics.
