Mermec T-Sight 5000

In the past, railway inspections were performed visually, during off-peak traffic hours.

Mounted to the front of a highspeed train, T-Sight 5000 allows such inspections to be performed in real time at speeds greater than 300 k/h.

The internal architecture of the T-Sight 5000 integrates two systems (clearance gauge measurement and tunnel wall inspection) sharing the same laser illuminating source.

The system contains no rotating or moving parts and is the smallest, lightest and most accurate on the market.

Applications: in-depth inspection and analysis of tunnels and clearance profiles on railways.
