Rail wheel force measuring system for safety compliance
Ensure rail vehicles meet safety standards by precisely measuring wheel forces and analyzing running characteristics to prevent derailments.
Measures and Analyzes Rail Vehicle Forces
The MULTIRAIL Wheel & GuideLoad system from Schenck Process is designed to enhance the safety and reliability of rail vehicles by precisely measuring and analyzing forces encountered during operation. This sophisticated system uses a continuous track layout to exceed standard testing requirements, calculating normal and lateral forces with sensors that adhere to DIN14363 standards. It’s ideal for applications involving freight wagons, passenger train wheelsets, and locomotive undercarriages, ensuring compliance and safety.
MULTIRAIL seamlessly integrates with your operations, providing data through PC-compatible software, and optionally connecting to higher-level customer systems for comprehensive analysis and reporting. Designed for continuous and manual operations in the rail transport and infrastructure sectors, it detects derailment risks and assesses load distribution, wagon weight, and wheelbase. Engineered for both static and dynamic conditions, it maintains operational efficiency, safeguarding your investment and personnel through real-time monitoring and diagnostics.
