O-CAT Optical Corrugation Analysis Trolley
Rail corrugation and acoustic roughness measuring trolley for tracks and switches,
Suitable for vignola and grooved rails Single Rail or Dual Rail trolley versions
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 O-CAT portable rail measuring trolleys are easy to carry and set-up and are suitable for obtaining continuous longitudinal measurements of irregularities on the rail surface. The O-CAT can be configured as single or dual rail measuring trolleys and measurement accuracy is not speed dependant (as is the case for inertial sensor-based instruments).
O-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
- Measurement accuracy not influenced by speed
