Information
Talgo supplies both automatic equipment and manual devices which are designed to detect any flaw or defect in the wheels without stopping the train to perform these measurements.
Main characteristics of Talgo measuring equipment:
Measurements can be taken at different speeds, without having to maintain a constant speed
Measurements are taken automatically, without human intervention, offering an important advantage in terms of cost and quality. Efficient traceability is ensured by identification antennas and tags, which automatically relate measurements with measured units.
A unique database for all wheelsets guarantees better supervision of the wheels´ state, optimising their service life, quality and safety.
Talgo’s manual measurement instruments and automatic measuring equipment is divided into four modules: EVA (machine vision module), DSR (superficial defects detection), EMO (wheel out-of-roundness detection) and Electric Shunt. All these can be supplied individually or as part of a package.
