Automated Systems for Wheel Sets Control

RIFTEK: The  systems are designed  for making automatic measurement of  geometric parameters  of railway wheel sets in  the course of  incoming and outgoing inspections carried out in railcar/wheel shops,  wagon depots.

The  system is designed  for making automatic measurement of 27 geometric parameters  of wheel pairs of wagons in  the course of  incoming and outgoing inspections carried out in railcar/wheel shops,  wagon depots and  wheelpair repair and gathering workshops.

Parameters under control

Wheel parameters:  out-of-roundness, deviation of  roll  surface  countour from  desired profile, wheel flange parameters, wheel tread width and thickness,  defects on rolling surface, and wheel separation distance.

Axle  journal  parameters:  average diameters underneath the first  and second bearings, out-of-roundness and taper.

Axle parameters:  diameters  and  ovality  of  pre-wheel-seat  parts, diameters  of  wheal seats  and middle parts of axle
