Tester for (railway) wheel rim measurement

Testers are integrated in the track bed for the wear control of wheel rims on trains. The profile is checked during the passage of the train. Point-type and line-type lasers measure the diameter and the profile of the wheel. Thus, a precise statement of when the wheel must be reprofiled is possible. The measuring technology thereby is exposed to all weather influences.
