TAMTRON SCALEX WILD WHEEL IMPACT LOAD DETECTOR AND WEIGHING SYSTEM
The Tamtron Scalex Wild wheel impact load detector can be used for detecting issues such as wheel flats caused by blocked brakes, as well as wheel damage caused by material defects or steel fatigue that can compromise railway safety. Scalex Wild also acts as an extremely accurate train scale that weighs each axle, bogie and wagon and detects loading errors as well.
This railway weighing system has been approved for commercial use according to the European directive.
•Measuring system for detecting wheel defects
•Also acts as an extremely accurate train scale that weighs each axle, bogie and wagon
•Also detects loading errors
•Measuring possible at line speeds, with a train speed of 10–250 km/h
•Dynamic weighing of wagons and trains for commercial use with train speeds of 10-120 km/h

WHEEL IMPACT MEASURING IMPROVES SAFETY AND COST MANAGEMENT
Scalex Wild detects wheel defects that can damage railway equipment or rails by monitoring the forces between rails and wheels. The measuring system improves safety, as equipment damage caused by dents and missing pieces can be avoided by stopping defective wagons before damage occurs. The railway network will stay in good condition as defective wheels can be prevented from damaging it, which also improves cost management. Wheel defects detected by Scalex Wild trigger an automatic alarm when pre-set alarm limits are exceeded. The measuring system indicates which wagon houses the wheel(s) that triggered the alarm.
