Rail Profiling
Rail Profiling
High-precision rail profile scanning for inspection and grinding operations
Rail Profile (RPMS)
The Rail Profile Measurement System is an optical diagnostic solution for high-precision, non-contact rail profile detection.
Easily mountable on virtually any type of vehicle and orientable toward the target, it is suitable for both rail wear inspections, integration on grinding machines or third rail detection and measuring.

How it works
- A laser projects a line onto the rail while the camera captures the rail profile continuously along the track.
- The software acquires the RAW image and isolates the rail profile.
- The RAW profile is processed and compared to the reference profile:
- The grinding method, optimizes material removal in the areas targeted for grinding.
- The wear method, enables accurate rail wear analysis.
