RCA mounted on Japanese rail grinder

Posted by RailMeasurement on 28 February 2011

During February 2011, RML installed an RCA on a Harsco rail grinder operated by Sumitomo Metal Technology Inc (SMT) in Japan.  SMT are RML’s agents in Japan and had previously used a corrugation system of their own design.  SMT were very impressed by the RCA’s performance and by its ability to measure not only short wavelength corrugation but also corrugation of over 1m wavelength.  Henceforth SMT will use RML equipment on the rail grinders that they operate and supply unless the client wishes otherwise.
