The present invention provides an apparatus (44) and method for evaluating an as-manufactured railway wheel (10) with a plurality of non-contact sensors (58,60,62,100,132,133,134) for communication of a plurality of sensed signals for evaluating several dimensional parameters and characteristics for qualification of the railway wheel satisfying Association of American Railroad specifications. The apparatus includes a holding fixture for retaining and orienting the wheel, three sampling assemblies (50,52,54) each having at least one sensor for measuring various parameters of the wheel, a controller (64) for receiving and analysing the data and an output device (65) for recording or displaying the analysis. <IMAGE> |
