Crack detection in wheels

Using the most advanced Non-Destructive Testing technology, IEM's Ultrasonic Wheel Crack Detection System inspects the condition of the wheel thoroughly to maintain safe and effective operation of the wheel sets. As train speeds and wheel loads increase, the stresses exerted on the wheel and wheelsets during operation also increases.

Severe stress can lead to cracks and defects within the wheel tread, wheel rim and wheel flange. Traditional inspection methods make it difficult for these defects to be detected.

IEM's Ultrasonic Wheel Crack Detection System automatically and accurately detects flaws using multiple sensors "steered" and "focused" at the wheel. Toggle navigation. Ultrasonic Wheel Crack Detection System.

Key Features and Benefits Workshop Application. Designed to inspect the wheelsets for defects within a workshop environment.
