Quick and correct evaluations with high repeatability
CALIPRI C42 meets the demand of the railway industry for easy-to-use profile measuring devices with highly reproducible results. The product stands for multifunctionality across the board for the complete wheel-rail system. Different software measurement modules for wheels, break discs, rails, and switches allow customized use across the rolling stock domain.
Users can perform different measurement tasks with just one lightweight and easy-to-operate system. Measured dimensions are displayed on a tablet PC or directly via the sensor display, and can be compared to predefined limit values.
Benefits And Features
Multifunctionality
The multifunctional CALIPRI C42 enables the combination of several inspection tasks (measurement modules) in one measurement device. You can choose the perfect combination.
User-independent results
CALIPRI C42 eliminates human error for reliable measured values. It is not necessary to exactly maintain the distance and angle to the wheel profile, as the CALIPRI method automatically compensates any rotations and tilts.
Rugged design meets lightweight sensor
CALIPRI C42 is a lightweight, easy-to-use sensor and allows comfortable measurement in the rail industry. Only one sensor is required for all measurements.
