Wheel testing system RPA-PD 1300

The RPA-PD 1300 ultrasonic testing system expands the product range for the railway industry with a wheel testing system designed for production environments. During the design and development process, GMH Prüftechnik benefited from many years of experience with various other testing systems, which significantly influenced the concept of the system as an “in-line” testing solution.

High-performance system, simple adjustment

During the development of the testing system, particular focus was placed on the option for automatic loading and unloading, simple parameter configuration for frequently changing wheel diameters, and easy adjustment of the ultrasonic testing technology. For this purpose, the system software was equipped with the 2D CAD interface already known from other testing systems, enabling quick and easy setup and adjustment to different wheel geometries. With a supported wheel diameter range from 600 to 1,300 mm, the user benefits from a highly powerful system for the inspection of railway wheels in production environments.

Features of the wheel testing system

  • Immersion tank testing system with precision roller support for the wheel
  • Suitable for automatic loading and unloading, enabling direct integration into the production line
  • High testing speed for short inspection times with high resolution
  • Optimal support for the setup of new wheelset designs
  • Inspection of wheel tread, flange and hub, as well as wheel web (optional)
  • Automatic evaluation of test results according to applicable standards
  • Display of test results in A-scan, B-scan and C-scan formats
  • Expandable according to customer requirements

Depending on the configuration, the RPA-PD 1300 inspects not only the wheel rim, but also the wheel web and wheel hub using either conventional single-element probes or phased array technology. The testing system meets the approval requirements for international high-speed rail traffic, as it complies with all relevant standards and regulations.
