Semi-automated inspection system for freight waggon wheel sets based on Phased Array Ultrasonic testing
Acceleration of testing processes
Save up to 50% of testing time compared to conventional testing methods, e.g. by reducing the number of req. testing steps
Simple, future-proof concept
No proprietary „custom solution“, but standard equipment – which can be used for other and future applications as well.
Complete and secure testing
All relevant areas are captured precisely and reliably – with increased probability of detection (POD).
Minimal setup times
Minimal effort required for setups via bespoke scanning equipment for wheel + shaft and pre-configured sensors.
Improved testing parameters …
High reproducibility via flowing water coupling and probe position being constant in space and time.
… and verifiable results
Constant saving of raw data and permanent coupling control allow further and repeated evaluation at a later date.
Maximum flexibility while testing …
Mobile testing device with battery or line operation. Comfortable testing with a single operator.
… and during evaluation
Testing data can be transmitted via WiFi. Testing and evaluation can be separated and performed at different times.
Comfort and conformity while testing
Simple to use and state of the art testing equipment acc. to VPI-EMG 09, DIN 27201-7, EN 16910.
Simple digital documentation
Locally precise capture and saving of testing data. Digitally assisted creation of testing reports.
Qualification of personnel included
Application oriented training of testing personnel and training certificates are included in the WS3 package.
More than just the testing instrument …
Reference blocks for calibration as well as testing instructions for wheel and shaft are included in the WS3 package.
Interested? We would be happy to advise you. On the left side you will find the brochure for the WS3 testing system in German or English as a direct link. Do you have questions about the testing system and its implementation in your company? We would be happy to advise you personally on site, via video conference (Zoom/Teams), by telephone or by email. We are looking forward to your contact!
