Introducing a rail profile wear measurement device equipped with a non-contact laser displacement sensor. It is a portable, mobile-based rail profile wear detection device that has secured high-precision wear measurement and real-time visualization analysis technology on the rail surface in a certain section. Local production of high precision and high added value. We propose a rail replacement cycle through history management by reducing inspection costs and securing stability through rail profile wear.
The rail profile wear measurement equipment “Railops” is portable and can be easily mounted on the bottom of the rail. Simple operation and quick installation are possible through miniaturization and wireless design.
Through belt-driven step motor control, the displacement sensor moves left and right with precision and scans over the rail cross-section.
The data measured by controlling the operation of the displacement sensor is collected and analyzed by the MCU control module and firmware.
Transferred to tablet software
In order to visualize the measured data on the tablet, we have implemented a Railops-exclusive app UI/UX designed to display information measured by Railops in easy-to-read Chinese characters and to enable easy operation of status reporting and viewing.
To start the software, install the instrument and select the line to be inspected.
After this, select the rail standard and click Get Started.
Afterwards, when you tap Scan on the main dashboard, the displacement sensor mounted on the rail starts rolling and scans the cross section of the rail profile.
Afterwards, the rail profile wear information is visualized on the wear graph.
When you press Save, the data is saved and the next rail profile is measured through reset.
It is used for saved data reports, and also implements an active maintenance system by notifying the rail profile replacement cycle through storage and backup on the institutional server.
The rail profile wear measurement device using the non-contact laser sensor of ROBS Co., Ltd. has secured reliability through technology transfer from the Korea Railroad Research Institute, and based on this technology, we will take responsibility for a safe future for railroads by preventing railroad derailments.
