Laser profilometer IKP-5

The laser profilometer is employed for measuring geometrical parameters of the wheel flange (thickness, slope, height), tire thickness and for taking full profile of the wheel roll surface. An LDE-HS laser module placed inside the profilometer casing performs linear scanning of the wheel surface being driven by a mini-stepper. An sensor placed inside the grip makes it possible to measure the tire thickness. The mobile computer connected to the profilometer performs conversion co-ordinates with respect to the wheel, calculation, display and storage of parameters and profiles (up to 1000 in number) for subsequent transmission to a wheel-set wear database management system.
