FDKP Wheel profile gauge

High-precision wheel profile measurement system for railway maintenance. Designed for fast, reliable inspections with modern Bluetooth data transfer to smart devices.

Key features

Laser-based wheel profile measurement
Measures flange height, thickness and slope
Full wheel profile scanning capability
Fast measurement in 1–2 seconds
Bluetooth data transfer to smart devices
Real-time analysis and tolerance control

Performance highlights FDKP Wheel profile gauge

The FDKP wheel profile gauge is a laser-based measurement system designed for accurate and repeatable inspection of railway wheel geometry. It measures critical parameters such as flange height, flange thickness, and flange slope, while also capturing the full rolling surface profile for advanced analysis.

With a measurement deviation of ≤ 0.1 mm and a scanning time of just 1–2 seconds, the system enables fast and reliable diagnostics in demanding railway environments.

Usage conditions

The FDKP is designed for direct use on rolling stock without removing the wheelset. The device is mounted onto the wheel using a magnetic support system, ensuring stable positioning during measurement.

It operates in field and depot environments and supports repeated measurement cycles (typically 5–10 measurements) for validation and accuracy control.

Possible applications

Railway wheel inspection
Rolling stock maintenance
Wheel wear monitoring
Tolerance verification
Preventive and predictive maintenance

Advantages of choosing this product

The FDKP enables a fully digital measurement workflow by replacing outdated PDA-based systems with Bluetooth connectivity to modern smart devices. This allows real-time data visualization, faster decision-making, and seamless integration into maintenance processes.

Its ability to measure directly on installed wheelsets significantly reduces downtime and improves operational efficiency.

Other important features

Reference profile comparison and deviation analysis
Integrated database for measurement storage
Configurable measurement schemes for trains and wheelsets
Visual tolerance indication (critical values highlighted)
Calibration based on reference profiles
