Optional High Speed Train Inspection Requirements
Multizone CoverageSpecific code requirements subdivide the rim area into zones requiring additional coverage. | Sub Bore-Hole Area InspectionSome codes require the inspection of the area under the bore holes, which is achieved with a Pitch-Catch configuration. |
High-Performance Package
Experience the power of the FOCUS LT acquisition unit, the flexibility of the TomoView software, and the customization capability provided by the software development kits (SDK). These three components work in unison to maximize the performance of train wheel inspection systems.
TomoScan FOCUS LT Specifications
Dynamic Depth Focusing | Improved defect resolution in the thread and rim areas |
Multipod | Scalable electronics for simultaneous full wheelset inspection and greatly reduced inspection time |
Interface Tracking Feature | Precise A-scan data, even for wheels with rough surfaces. |
Presynchronization Capability | Greatly improved near-backwall defects detection in the rim fillet area. |
Scalability
Use 1, 2, or 3 FOCUS LT acquisition units to match the expected system productivity.
- Enhanced multiprobe capability for simultaneous full wheelset inspection.
- Up to a threefold increase in inspection speed for reduced inspection time per wheelset.
Automation and Customization
Fully automate your inspection system to reduce the cycle time per wheel and enhance detectability.
Customizable User Interface
Create your own specially designed user interface that optimizes and streamlines your system’s performance.
TomoView and SDK Features
- Advanced multiprobe and multigroup management for in-depth thread, rim, hub, and flange coverage.
- Dedicated user interface based on train wheel inspection requirements.
- Live data retrieval capability for customized external data presentation and processing.
- Fully automated and operator-free inspection systems using the SDKs.
