Worn Wheel Inspection Station - Technical Information
The Worn Wheel Inspection Station (WWS-3000) is designed for installation at the beginning of the wheel line. IEM’s Wheel Surface Flaw Detection Station automatically assesses the profile and condition of the incoming wheelsets and produces a scrap vs. true recommendation based on user-identified thresholds. The Station uses a carefully directed illumination array to highlight discontinuities on the wheel surface including but not limited to: spalling, shelling, and tread build-up.
