Product Overview
The Wheel Fault Detection System (Model 1606) combines
IEM’s expertise in Wheel Profile Measurement and Flat Spot
Detection to create the most complete wayside fault
detection system dedicated to wheels.
The Wheel Profile Measurement System 1600 series offers
the highest resolution of any profile system on the market
today, with measurement repeatability within the 0.1
millimeter range. High-resolution cameras capture quality
images at speeds up to 400 km/hr in both directions,
generating any number of standard or custom
measurements.
IEM’s Flat Spot Detection system consists of an array
of highly sensitive accelerometers coupled with
proprietary vibration analysis techniques to capture,
analyze, and identify vibrations induced into the rail
that indicate surface anomalies. These defects
include flat spots, shells, and out-of-round
conditions.
