Method and system for measurement of railway wheels rolling surface in re-shaping process
Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
Train wheel sets must be periodically inspected for possible or actual failures. The wheels are the most loaded components of railway vehicles and are subject to continuous wear. Framing the rolling profile of the railway vehicle wheels in to the geometric and dimensional features, regulated by national and international norms and standards, is a key factor for traffic safety. When the wheel reaches a certain critical level of wear, it must be re-profiled or replaced. This paper presents some considerations on the development of an automatic wheel profile measurement and computer analysis system integrated in a CNC profiling/re-profiling machine-tools. Measurement is done by contact, in two rectangular coordinates.
