Automatic rail inspection using laser profile scanners

There are several reasons for regular inspection and maintenance:

  • Early recognition of wear
  • Maintaining travelling comfort
  • Ensuring safety


The company Donfabs & Consillia offers an intelligent solution for this: a new maintenance vehicle that performs inspections using measuring sensors from Micro-Epsilon. A total of six laser profile scanners are mounted on the maintenance vehicle. These measure the conductor rails from below and above as well as the lateral guide rails. Thanks to a large measuring range, it is not necessary to move the sensors in order to detect position or dimension deviations, for example
