Switch Frog

Unprecise mechanical calipers and unhandy templates are now a thing of the past. Record wear profiles without any contact to the surface – highly precise and easy. The equipment (sensor, tablet pc and guidance) can be set-up in seconds and is easy to move from one turnout to another.

The “Switch“ module is used for precise measurement of switch frogs and switch blades. Important wear values like the lowering of the point of crossing are determined and compared with predefined limit values. An easy to handle and lightweight gauge (carbon fiber) facilitates thereby the sensor guidance. 

The immediate display of limit exceedances allows for quick decisions. Furthermore, the digital data transmission replaces error-prone handwritten recordings.

Calipri measurement devices are approved and used i.a. in Germany (DB), Austria (ÖBB), Switzerland (SBB), France (SNCF), China (Chengdu Railway Bureau) and the Czech Republic (SŽDC).
