WHEEL PRO - Wheel profile measurement
WHEEL PRO – Real‑Time Wheel Profile Measurement (Trakblaze Indonesia)
Contactless, High‑Precision Wheel Profile Monitoring for Every Passing Train
The WHEEL PRO Real‑Time Wheel Profile Measurement System is Trakblaze’s advanced, contactless wayside monitoring solution designed to capture accurate wheel and axle profile data as trains pass through without slowing or stopping operations. Built for Indonesia’s metro, tram, freight, regional, and high‑speed rail networks, WHEEL PRO delivers instant, real‑time measurements that support predictive and condition‑based maintenance.
With exceptional accuracy of ±0.2 mm for wheel profiles and ±0.5 mm for wheel diameters, the system detects critical flange and tread defects early, helping operators reduce maintenance costs, improve safety, and extend wheel life.
Why WHEEL PRO Is Essential for Indonesia’s Rail Fleets
- Real‑Time, Contactless Measurement – Captures wheel and axle profiles instantly as trains pass no manual inspection required.
- High‑Precision Accuracy
- ±0.2 mm for wheel profiles
- ±0.5 mm for wheel diameters Ideal for safety‑critical rail operations.
- Detects Critical Wheel Defects – Identifies flange wear, tread damage, hollowing, and other defects that impact safety and ride quality.
- Supports Predictive Maintenance – Provides continuous data for condition‑based maintenance planning, reducing workshop downtime.
- Indoor or Outdoor Installation – Flexible deployment with no civil works required, making it suitable for depots, mainline tracks, and wayside monitoring points.
- Zero Operational Disruption – Trains pass through at normal speed — perfect for high‑frequency and high‑speed networks.
How the WHEEL PRO System Works
- Contactless sensors scan each wheel and axle as the train passes.
- High‑resolution laser technology captures precise wheel geometry.
- Advanced algorithms generate real‑time wheel profile and diameter measurements.
- Operators receive instant results through the system interface.
- Data is stored for trend analysis, maintenance planning, and safety reporting.
This enables operators to detect wear patterns early and prevent wheel‑related failures.
