Rack railways, due to their slopes and inclines, often rely on rack bars to ensure safe and reliable movement. It is crucial that these rack bars are regularly checked for their geometry and wear to prevent accidents and failures. This is where our DTK Rack Bar Measuring System comes into play.
Our measuring system captures a variety of measurements, such as the central position of the rack bar in the track, the height of the tooth head above the rail top, and the tooth pitch. The graphical evaluation of the actual profile compared to the target profile allows for a quick and precise assessment of wear.
By combining with other DTK measurements, our customers can monitor the entire track and wiring network and plan renovation measures if necessary. The comprehensive evaluation software helps in identifying significant events and detecting deviations from the prescribed standards.
Thanks to the recording of GPS data, deviations can also be displayed in a map view, which facilitates the planning of renovation measures. A data export function also allows for further use of the data in proprietary databases. Our DTK Rack Bar Measuring System is an ideal solution for transport companies and railway operators who prioritize the highest safety and reliability.
