    The WheelScan system uses lasers and cameras to take real-time measurements of wheel profiles for passing trains, including flange height, width, angle, rim thickness, tread width, and diameter. It detects hollow tread and out of specification wheels, collects profile data for wheel truing, and records wheel and vehicle data for analysis. The system aims to improve on manual inspection methods by providing automated, consistent, and historical wheel measurement data at track speeds.

    WheelScan - Wheel Profile Measurement Technology

    WHEELSCAN – Automated Wheel Profile Measurement


    The WheelScan system provides immediate feedback on the wheel wear condition of each train that
    passes wayside measurement system. By incorporating the latest video and laser technology, the
    WheelScan system takes wheel cross-sectional profile pictures and performs dimensional
    measurements on each wheel in real-time.

    WHEELSCAN OUTPUT:
     Wheel Profile
     Flange Height In-track
     Flange Width Laser Scanning
     Flange Angle
     Rim Thickness
    Units
     Tread Width
     Hollow Tread
     Back to Back Gauge
     Wheel Diameter (Optional)

    WITH THE WHEELSCAN SYSTEM, YOU WILL:


     Detect and Measure Hollow Tread Wheels
     Accurately Identify Wheel Sets Exceeding Wear Standards
     Collect Wheel Profile Data for Wheel Truing
     Database Wheel Measurements and Vehicle Historical Information
     Perform Wheel/Rail Interface Analysis with Rail and Wheel Profile Data

    TECHNICALLY SUPERIOR:
    The task of railroad wheel condition
    monitoring on railroads and transit properties typically relies on
    visual inspection and measurements with hand-held gauges.
    This method yields low productivity, inconsistent results and
    limited historical data. KLD Lab's solution to these issues is the
    WheelScan system.

    The WheelScan system is designed to measure wheel profile, hollow tread, flange height, flange
    width, tread width, rim thickness and wheel diameter – all in real-time and at track speeds. This
    system is designed to be installed within the track bed to allow for the real-time evaluation of key
    wheel parameters, as well as integration with offsite computers or other track-based measurement
    and detection systems.

    HOW ITWORKS:
    As each wheelset passes the WheelScan system, the profile of the wheel is illuminated with lasers
    and captured by high resolution video cameras. These wheel images are then sent to the central
    computer for dimensional measuring. Each wheel image is synchronized with vehicle identifica-
    tion information and transferred to offsite computers for comprehensive vehicle evaluation.
