Modern measurement and control technology
Process reliability, accuracy, user-friendliness; these are important characteristics of the measuring and control technology of a wheelset press. We addressed these issues from the very beginning. Our answer to these challenging tasks: RACOS – with its powerful computer and a freely programmable measurement technology, we have set new standards for the entire railway industry, that make your processes safer and more reliable.
The software: RACOS highlights
- Curve evaluation The central quality feature for the pressing process is the force-path course shown in real time on the display. The RACOS system offers an utmost flexible way of parameterizing process defining limit data set down in the specifications of the wheelset manufacturers and the innumerable regulations and criteria worldwide, and evaluating the force curve accordingly, while directly displaying the pertinent regulations.
- Measuring head With the universal measuring device you can easily record all geometric data of the wheelset relevant for the pressing process. The axial positions of wheel and brake disks, gearboxes, shaft reference surfaces and seat diameters on the wheelset shaft are taken into account. You can measure axial and radial run-out of the shaft, wheels and brake disks while the wheelset is rotated. The measures are taken by tactile or laser measuring heads – depending on the task.
