Hollow shaft axles testing system HWP-PD 2700/30-90

The HWP-PD 2700/30-90 is the first mechanized testing system for longitudinally drilled wheelset axles that combines two testing methods in a single system: ultrasonic testing and eddy current testing. Regardless of whether the axle length ranges from 1.5 m to 2.7 m or bore diameters from 25 mm to 110 mm are involved, the system covers a wide range of geometries. In combination with a 2D CAD interface, it can be quickly adapted and adjusted to different axle geometries. This provides a powerful tool for the industrial production of longitudinally drilled wheelset axles.

Combined testing methods for volume and surface inspection

For the first time, ultrasonic testing and eddy current testing are combined in a single system for the production inspection of longitudinally drilled wheelset axles. While ultrasonic technology is used for volumetric inspection and the detection of surface cracks, eddy current technology is employed for inspection of the bore surface. Both methods operate within a shared inspection process and are combined and visualized in specially developed software. The system complies with all relevant standards and regulations and also features patented flange technology for easy adaptation to different axle geometries.

Features of the testing system

  • No additional adapter required on the axle thanks to patented flange technology
  • High testing speed for short inspection times with high resolution
  • Very short setup and adjustment times through the 2D CAD interface
  • Optimal support for the setup of new axle designs
  • Automatic evaluation of inspection results according to applicable standards
  • Display of inspection results in A-scan, B-scan and C-scan formats
