Solutions for the Railway Industry: CALIPRI Measurement Devices
Many Tasks, One Solution
CALIPRI non-contact profile measurement devices meet the demands of the railway industry for predictive maintenance with a reproducible and simple measurement method. Whether working with wheels, brakes, rails or switches, Hexagon offers the right solution for any measurement task.
CALIPRI profile measuring devices are certified and used by operators all over the world, including in Germany (Deutsche Bahn DB), France (SNCF), China (China Railway), India (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation DMRC), Japan (East Japan Railway Company), USA (Amtrak) and Morocco (Office National des Chemins de Fer ONCF).
Specialised Solutions for Railway Wheelset and Track Profile Measurement
Train wheelsets and rail infrastructure are typical wear parts that significantly affect passenger comfort, safety, noise and ride. The profiles of wheels, brake discs, rails and switches are therefore controlled by recurring measurement operations, which are performed in demanding operating conditions. The challenge lies in efficiently generating valid measurement data for the entire wheel-rail system. Efficient wheelset profile measurement can drive timely maintenance actions, help minimise train downtime and ensure a smooth and safe journey for rail passengers.
Hexagon’s NEXTSENSE CALIPRI optical profile measuring instruments meet the specific demands of the railway industry by delivering accurate and reproducible results, independent of operator influence. These specialised rail profile measurement devices are widely used for wheel profile inspection, brake disc measurement, wheel distance measurement, wheel wear inspection and rail wear inspection.
Patented Technology
The unique CALIPRI Principle is a development of laser light section technology for non-contact dimension and profile measurements. It involves an innovative technology automatically correcting tilts and rotations of the measurement device. The result: Highly accurate, reproducible and user-independent measurement results – fully automated or by hand within seconds. Never again struggle with imprecise gauges: CALIPRI replaces error-prone and unreliable inspection devices.
