Track measurement

TRACKSCAN PROFILE

LASER TECHNOLOGY FOR CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT OF TRACK GEOMETRY

Goldschmidt´s Trackscan Profile is a trolley equiped with advanced laser measurement moduls. This allows for the measurement of track geometry as well as the rail cross profile. The results are directly displayed on the operators monitor and automatically saved to memory. The supplied Dari® software allows for analyzing the measurement results from any computer and can generate different reports.

The TSP trolley meets the requirements of the EN 13848-4 standard. Measurement results generated by the trolley are consistent with the requirements of the Polish Railway Lines (PKP PLK).

The trolley is provided with a colourful backlit display and a comfortable keyboard (typical of other GRAW products). Measurement results and information about exceedings of allowed values are perfectly visible even at night. Dedicated keys of typical defects facilitate the recording and annotation of cracks in welds or rails, missing bolts, sleepers requiring replacement, etc.

The trolley is supplied with the Dari® software (for PCs) enabling, among other things, the graphic presentation and comparison of measurement results as well as the printing of measurement reports or calculating typical track quality factors. Measurement results are also available in the tabular form containing track defect locations. Measurement data can be exported in MS Word, MS Excel and PDF formats.

In addition, the software enables the saving of measured profiles in the DXF format, comparing measured profiles with model profiles, automatic sizing and printing of rail profile-related reports.
