ARGUS II Wheel Set Inspection System

Hegenscheidt Underfloor Wheelset Measurement

The ARGUS II Wheel Set Inspection System is a development of the Hegenscheidt ARGUS inspection and testing technology. Now for the first time, in addition to the diagnosis of railway vehicle wheel sets, it can also carry out the diagnosis of tram wheel sets in drive through operation. Thanks to the new design, the system is installed without a foundation, considerably reducing the installation time and the associated costs. The rail intended as the site of installation can be converted into the test rail within one day, so ensuring that the track is returned to service "in days" rather than "in weeks". A fully-automated process identifies and measures vehicles when they enter the measuring section. All relevant measurement data are archived in a database. The operator can thus monitor his fleet of wheel sets on a continuous basis with no personnel costs or loss of time. On the basis of the collected measurements, it is possible to determine a wear characteristic, which can provide the basis for a maintenance program that is economically oriented as well as environmentally and safety-conscious.

Benefits

  • Fully-automated wheel set diagnosis without personnel costs, around the clock.
  • Archiving of all measurement data in a database.
  • Precise and easy-to-access information on the state of all wheel sets, along with their history and a wear forecast from the wheel set database.
  • Low installation time, and therefore fast availability of the rail.
  • Foundation for better workshop organization and logistical preparation.
  • Increased operational reliability and punctuality, even without operating reserves. All the work required by the wheel sets is known before the vehicles enter the workshop.
  • Suitability test according to VDI/VDE/DQG 2618 Bl. 27, VDA 5/GUM by accredited calibration laboratory.
