FDKP Short Wheel Profile Gauge

Specifically for LightRail


About the FDKP Short Wheel Profile Gauge

The laser profilometer is developed for measuring geometrical parameters of the rail wheel flange (thickness, slope, height), rim/tire thickness and for taking full profile measurment of the wheel roll surface.
The device is supplied with a database and software package for wheel sets wear data storage and processing.

This short wheel profile gauge is specifically developed for tramway rail/lightrail use.
