Wave Partner is a portable and fully automated trolley system for rail corrugation inspection.
Designed for fast, non-contact measurement, it ensures accurate assessment of surface wear conditions both before and after grinding operations, across a wide range of rail types — including U-Rail.
Equipped with eddy current sensors, the system detects wavelength-based surface defects from 10 mm to 1000 mm, with precision down to ±1 µm.
It is available in single-rail or dual-rail configurations, making it adaptable to different inspection needs and operational contexts.
Its rugged construction, lightweight design and easy handling, make it ideal for both field teams and maintenance contractors.
Real Time Analysis
The user-friendly software generates real-time visualizations and post-processing reports, with results immediately available for quality control and maintenance planning.
