RM-RCA-V Rail Corrugation Analyzer with integrated Vision system
Longitudinal rail profile and roughness measuring system for tracks and switches. Suitable for mounting on railway vehicles,
hi-rail vehicles and trolleys.
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 RCA-V is a compact and easy to install high precision measuring device to obtain a continuous longitudinal measurement of irregularities on the rail surface and capturing high resolution images from the railhead. The RCA-V can be fitted to trains, hi-rail vehicles and wagons and can be used on various track gauges (standard, narrow or wide gauge).
RCA-V
Applications:
- Monitoring of rail quality
- Detection of corrugation
- Detection and classification of both short and long waves
- Assessment of mobile rail treatment results e.g. rail grinding and milling
- Visual assessment of rail condition
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

TECHNOLOGY FROM THE LEADERS IN RAIL MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS
The RCA gives reliable measurement results of irregularities on the rail head over the full wavelength range as per the EN13231-2 2020 and earlier versions of this standard. The user friendly reporting software allows for superimposing measuring runs, setting required tolerance limits and showing the % exceedances.
