Test Railways HBM: advanced measurement technology for rail companies, rail transport and Railways
The range of products and solutions for rail testing from HBM covers practically all areas relating to Metrology such as development work, testing, adjustment and monitoring.
Worldwide specialists trusted by scientific and technical knowledge of the company HBM from decades of cooperation with the railway industry and service companies.
When measured at an introductory wire, overhead lines and high voltage components used in measuring technology special requirements. Exposure to high naprjazhennejshie the use of such standard equipment as electric strain gauges.
Numerous opportunities are opened with the new optical measuring technology based on Bragg gratings (optical strain gauges, survey devices, ON) ‒getting correct results when measured at the contact lines and high-voltage components.
Optical measurement technology for conducting rail tests
Powerful and isolated data acquisition systems
On performance components of the state Supervisory body (e.g. the Federal railway service) need to comply with special technical requirements. Typical examples are the test of strength, test handling and test braking. In practice the use of proven measurement technology ensures a high level of security and reliability of the measuring results.
Therefore, numerous state accredited testing centers use HBM measurement technology in the certification of components for railway transport, for example:
There are many practical examples and use cases of the system of collecting and processing the results of measurements in the railway industry. Whether it is the study of the dynamic characteristics of a railway car or check specific parameters: measurement technology HBM be invaluable in linear and acceptance testing.
The existing international standards (e.g. EN 15227) security vehicles have high requirements for rail tests. The goal of every new improvement is the improvement of the structures that contribute to the protection against failure and ensure maximum safety during accidents, impact loads and crashes.
HBM measurement technology helps with the following tasks:
Rails as part of the permanent way of Railways, it is an object under a strong and constant load. In addition, failures due to changes in material properties, weather influence and impact the railway traffic can lead to various types of damage. HBM measurement technology helps in continuous monitoring of the rail network in single measurements on the tracks, for example, in the following tasks:
Industry software from HBM nCode was used in the railway industry in the 1980s, it is not surprising that many companies involved in design and maintenance of the trains continue to benefit from the latest generation of nCode software products.
Preliminary modeling of trains and bogies contributes to the optimization of the design in accordance with the fatigue characteristics, which in turn helps to reduce weight, reduce power consumption and wear of rails. Functional force measurements and overload in construction of railway trains and the track manufactured to prevent damage, and damage assessment. It is possible to identify problems before they will cause malfunctions, and therefore can be prevented serious crash and crash.
