Wheel Profile

The "wheel profile" module allows for the precise measurement of an entire wheel profile cross section within a few seconds. Alongside the key wheel flange dimensions (height, width, qR), the wheel width, hollow tread as well as the rollover are determined. It is not necessary to exactly maintain the distance and angle to the wheel profile, as our patented CALIPRI method automatically compensates any rotations and tilts.

The “Wheel profile” module can be applied for all common heavy as well as light rail wheels. The magnetic supporting gauge “BR600” is used to measure heavily worn rails and is included in this module offering. Mounted on the unworn area of the inner wheel side, the gauge ensures ensure the correct alignment of the data. All of the measured variables are displayed on the sensor and table PC within a few seconds. These results can then be compared automatically with your reference values.

Calipri is approved and uses i.a. in Germany (DB), Austria (ÖBB), Switzerland (SBB), France (SNCF), China (Chengdu Railway Bureau) and the Czech Republic (SŽDC). This measuring module has been successfully tested according to JCGM100: 2008, DIN V ENV 13005: 1999-06, DIN EN 13715: 2001-01, DIN EN 15313: 2016-09 and DIN 27201-9: 2017-06.
