Description
We bring the eddy current to the track
Railroad rails are highly stressed components – their load is increasing due to increasing traffic (load changes), increasing axle loads and increasing speeds, especially in the area of high-speed lines. Therefore, laid rails must undergo careful inspection depending on the load profile.
The task of a modern eddy current testing device is therefore to search for, find and evaluate damage such as head checks, squats and other cracks, even in weld seams.
The ELORAIL WPG D340 rail inspection trolley from Rohmann is made of ultra-light CFRP and is easy and simple to operate by just one person.
Assembly and disassembly is possible in a short time without tools. The trolley is versatile and can be equipped with the appropriate eddy current devices depending on the test task and scope. The trolley is guided by a new type of patented magnetic holder. This enables extremely smooth and precise testing of the entire rail head.
The trolley is guided exclusively by magnetic forces (adjustable) on the running edge, making it suitable for switches. The sensors have ceramic wear protection and can be guided both contactless and sliding.
