Track Geometry Measurement

GJY-H-CK-22CM track geometry dimension inspection equipment (track geometry measurement) is developed based on the principle of “chord measurement method”, integrating high-precision dynamic inclination sensors, displacement sensors, fiber optic gyroscopes and other precision sensors. The hardware acquisition module samples the data of each sensor every 0.125 meters and uploads it to the PC software for real-time data processing and calculation, effectively ensuring the accuracy of the data.

The structure of the H-type track geometry measurement system consists of four main parts: measuring arm, auxiliary walking arm, measuring spindle (connecting arm), and industrial PC.

Description

GJY-H-CK-22CM Track Geometry Measurement

Driven by an electric flaw detection vehicle, the track geometry measurement system runs at a maximum speed of 15km/h while conducting geometric dimension inspection of the double rail track. The testing items include: track gauge, left and right track direction, left and right height, cant (superelevation), twist, gauge change rate, left and right versine, rail wear, and mileage error less than 1 m/km. It has fast detection speed, high accuracy, online analysis and processing, diversified report output, and easy software operation.

Meet accuracy requirement of Level I track geometry measurement system:

For the convenience of users in conducting repetitive analysis of data, the software provides CSV format for the generated data, which can be opened using tools such as Excel for comparative analysis of multiple sets of data. The following is an example for comparison of the consistency of three actual test data (including round trip):

gauge

                                                                                         Gauge

cant

                                                                                          Cant

twist

                                                                   Twist (6.25m basic length)

versine

                                                                                        Versine

The repeatability of cant and twist reached 98.6%, and the repeatability of other detection parameters reached over 99%, meeting the requirements of various indicators for Level I track geometry measurement system.
