Manual Profile Measurement of Rails via 2D/3D Profile Sensors on Trolleys

Regular measurement of tracks is necessary in the rail industry to ensure the safety of rail transport. Trolleys are used for short sections of track for this purpose. In manual mode or on a small locomotive, they use four 2D/3D profile sensors to check the rail geometry for bare or rusty steel with micrometer precision. Via laser triangulation, the sensors provide values for width, inclination, irregularities or damage. The sensors reliably measure in all weather conditions, high levels of ambient light, such as sunlight, and any temperature.

MLSL 2D/3D Profile Sensors

2D/3D profile sensors from the weCat3D series use the principle of laser triangulation to create 2D height profiles and 3D point clouds. The MLSL model provides accurate resolution in a compact housing design.
