Ultrasys
The system is intended for patented ultrasonic 2D-3D Rail testing, Axle and wheel inspection.
The new Ultrasys, an inspection system mounted on a self-propelled electric trolley, for ultrasonic rail testing of in-situ metro and underground railways. The innovative sled structure of the Ultrasys enables simultaneous ultrasonic inspection of both rails using multiple probes for maximal coverage of the rail profile. An advanced self-alignment module maintains sled positioning in all track scenarios, ensuring reliable automatic inspection.
The rail height monitoring mechanism automatically adjusts relevant ultrasonic settings when a change in rail type is detected. The results are presented in real time on a unique scan display.
The Ultrasys includes 64 ultrasonic detection channels. The system’s unique capabilities include:
- Innovative, unique probe housing design
- Optional integrated GPS for defect localization
- Easy mounting/demounting of the trolley from the rail in 10 minutes or less
- Exclusive water flow mechanism designed to minimize water usage
- Unlimited ability to cross above rail switches and intersections
- Easy “zero cost” maintenance
- Minimal power consumption allows for extended overall system operation.
The Ultrasys is delivered with integrated Ultrasys Pro-1 software, a complete data collection, presentation, and analysis package. The software covers all phases of system operation, from configuration and inspection to post-processing.
As stringent regulations are imposed on train wheel and axle inspection in the manufacturing and service sectors, the industry requires automated inspections that provide efficiency, quality, repeatability, and documentation of test results.
Ultrasys offers a wide range of automated inspection systems for testing wheels, axles, and wheel-set assemblies in production lines and refurbishing shops.
The Ultrasys-Wwheel Inspector includes fully computerized ultrasonic systems for inspecting train wheels suited for production lines or refurbishment shops.
The Ultrasys-A is for Axle inspection in the production lines and refurbishment shop environments. This series provides complete automation of the inspection process at a cost-effective rate.
