Railway wheel breakdown is one of the most critical issues and potential causes of derailments with serious consequences to both passenger safety and maintenance costs.
Present day inspections are extremely long and expensive, since it requires dismantling the wheel sets and inspection the wheels. The MERMEC Group's system increases inspection speed and efficiency and keeps your rolling stock rolling.
The MERMEC Group has developed a no-contact detection system during train transit.
The Wheel Surface Defect Measuring System seeks out flaws and cracks by means of the propagation of Rayleigh waves produced electromagnetically on the rolling surface (EMAT).
