Wheel Maintenance Measurement Tools
Using the Wheel Maintenance Measurement Tools of Althen is the easiest and fastest way to get reliable and accurate wheel parameters. Our wheel measurement tools are based on laser technology and developed to be used in railway maintenance locations to measure the diameter, scan the profile and measure the back-2-back distance in a modern and innovative way.
The software collects all the measurements via Bluetooth an stores the data into the software. All measurements and wheel parameters can then be easily uploaded into other systems.
