Non-contact Wheel Roughness Measuring Device
Introducing a railway vehicle wheel profile roughness and surface roughness measuring device using a non-contact laser displacement sensor.
This is equipment that measures the surface roughness of railway vehicle wheels at high speed using a precision profile sensor in a non-contact manner after machining.
In addition, it provides control and measurement data visualization through measurement data history storage, and automatically saves and manages software measurement data history.
Convenient equipment control using dedicated software is presented below.
1. Easy-to-move all-in-one measuring equipment
2. Laser scan sensor measurement algorithm applied
3. Surface profile measurement and visualization through automatic measurement through Cartesian robot motion control
4. Measure the surface roughness of the measurement point and save the measurement data and manage history.
Data measured by user UI/UX is used for reports, and through storage and backup on the institutional server, it informs the wheel profile replacement cycle and implements an active maintenance system.
The rail profile wear measurement device using the non-contact laser sensor of LOBSE 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.

Company Overview
hello. LOBSE Co., Ltd. measures the wear of railway wheels and rails through non-contact laser sensing in the field of disaster safety and provides solutions to prevent railway vehicle derailments through various maintenance measurement systems.
As the first product, we introduce a rail profile wear measurement device with a non-contact laser displacement sensor. It is a portable, mobile-based rail profile wear measurement device that has secured high-precision wear measurement and real-time visualization analysis technology on the rail surface in a certain section. High precision and high added value. We propose a rail replacement cycle through history management by reducing inspection costs and securing stability through local production of 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
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 rail profile replacement cycles 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.
