Product description:
Rail surface irregularities of the order of microns (0.001mm) in amplitude are important in the generation of wheel/rail rolling noise and vibrations. The CAT portable measuring trolleys is easy to carry and set-up and is suitable for obtaining continuous longitudinal measurements of irregularities on the rail surface.
CAT
Applications:
- Monitoring of rail quality
- Detection of corrugation and acoustic roughness
- Detection and classification of both short and long waves
- Assessment of mobile rail treatment results e.g. rail grinding and milling
Main characteristics:
- Measurements that are highly accurate and repeatable
- Relatively simple installation and setup
- Contact measurement system using inertial sensors
- Suitable for any track gauge
- User-friendly software for acquisition and review of measurement data
- Operation through notebook or tablet-pc
- Robust yet light weight design
- Extensive product support
