Description
MiniProf BT is based on secure full-contact measurements and has a knife-shaped full contact point directly to the surface of a given profile. The magnetic full contact point minimizes influences from oil, lubrication, dirt and other substances on the profile as it “cuts” through the layers. It ensures constant contact to the actual profile during the complete measuring process and minimizes operator influence.
The accuracy of a MiniProf BT system is very consistent due to the unique measuring principle with a small magnetic measuring wheel and two rotating optical high resolution encoders which ensure that the measurement is performed perpendicular to the surface of the entire profile.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
- MiniProf BT Wheel is a high precision, lightweight and portable tool for performing fast and reliable cross-sectional wheel profile measurements to monitor and analyze the wear of wheels. It is equipped with Bluetooth, has an option for cable connection and comes in few variations depending on your requirements. Magnetically attached to the backside of the wheel, the wheel profile is measured in less than 5 seconds and a complete railroad car in less than five minutes.
- MiniProf BT Rail is a high precision, lightweight and portable tool for performing fast and reliable cross-sectional rail profile measurements to monitor and analyze the wear of rails. It is equipped with Bluetooth, has an option for cable connection and is available for all type of rails, including grooved rails. Magnetically attached to the top of the railhead, the rail profile and track gauge is measured in one single measurement in less than 5 seconds.
- MiniProf BT Brake is a high precision, lightweight and portable tool for performing fast and reliable cross-sectional brake profile measurements to monitor and analyze the wear of brakes. It is equipped with Bluetooth, has an option for cable connection and comes in few variations depending on the type of brake. Magnetically attached to the wheel or axle, the brake profile is measured in less than 5 seconds.
MiniProf Switch & Crossing is a high precision and portable tool for fast, reliable and extremely accurate cross-sectional profile measurements of switches and crossings for monitoring and analyzing the wear of the rails. It is equipped with Bluetooth, has an option for cable connection and is available for most types of switches and crossings.
The instrument extends to the opposite rail through a fixed rod, offering stability, gauge and track relative measurements. It can easily be adjusted to match various measuring scenarios and each measurement is performed conveniently in one single measurement in less than 5 seconds per profile.
In contrast to the standard single head MiniProf BT systems, the MiniProf BT TwinHead systems measure both left and right profile together. This makes it possible to obtain a highly accurate relationship between the two profiles, which is especially important in analyzing running characteristics for rolling stock using for instance equivalent conicity studies. The MiniProf BT TwinHead systems are available for rail and wheel profile measurements.
