About the FDKP Super short wheel profile gauge

The FDKP Super short wheel profile gauge is an ultra-compact laser-based measurement system for accurate and repeatable inspection of railway wheel geometry in areas with extremely limited access. It measures critical parameters such as flange height, flange thickness and flange slope, while also capturing the full rolling surface profile.

With a measurement deviation of ≤ 0.1 mm and a scanning time of 1–2 seconds, it enables fast and reliable measurements in demanding railway maintenance environments.

Usage conditions

The FDKP Super short version is designed for railway applications where standard or short wheel profile gauges cannot be positioned easily. Its reduced form factor makes it suitable for complex wheel access situations around bogies, brake systems and restricted mechanical layouts.

The device is mounted directly on the wheel using magnetic support positioning and enables measurements without removing the wheelset from the rolling stock.

Possible applications

Railway wheel inspection in extremely confined spaces
Rolling stock maintenance
Wheel wear monitoring
Tolerance verification
Preventive and predictive maintenance

Advantages of choosing this product

The FDKP Super short version provides the highest level of accessibility within the FDKP wheel profile gauge range. It is especially useful when reliable wheel profile measurements are required in locations where larger instruments are difficult or impossible to use.

With Bluetooth connectivity to smart devices, the system supports a modern digital workflow with real-time data visualization, measurement storage and efficient analysis.

Other important features
