Rolling and lathing parameter measuring device by artificial viewing for railway vehicles wheels

摘要

A measuring device for the rolling and lathing parameters of railway wheels (1) permitting the viewing of both sides of the flange and the rolling band by means of artificial viewing methods, using two laser light sources (2), each one of which projects a line of light along the profile to be measured. A camera (4) simultaneously captures both sides of the illuminated profile (3) with the aid of a two mirror periscope system (5). The periscope design permits simultaneous viewing of both the flange and the rolling band with a single camera. A set of wheel presence sensors (10) activates image capture by the camera. Each captured image is sent to an electronic artificial viewing equipment (6), where the two profile views containing the recorded image are composed resulting in a complete profile. The obtained results are displayed in the electronic equipment itself or in a computer (7). <IMAGE>
