The AX1200 is an extremely precise, multi-axis wheel measurement system specifically designed for measuring the wheels of railway vehicles and converting them into digital signals for data analysis. This system is crucial for ensuring compliance with international railway standards, guaranteeing safe and efficient railway operation.
One of the key aspects of the AX1200 design is versatility, accuracy, and ease of use. The system is extremely easy to install on any standard gauge track. Built-in, adjustable measuring units (scales) allow the operator to compensate for any errors resulting from track level differences (track inclination), thereby eliminating measurement deviations caused by installation inaccuracies.
Error Compensation: Thanks to the adjustable measuring units, the system can automatically correct track level differences, ensuring high-precision measurement regardless of the installation environment.
Easy Installation: The system can be quickly and easily mounted on any standard railway track, thanks to the included accessories.
Flexible Configuration: The system is available in configurations for measuring 2, 4, 6, 8, or even 12 wheels, providing maximum flexibility for different vehicle sizes.
Two Types of Design: Available in wired or wireless versions, allowing the user to choose the solution that best suits on-site requirements.
Intuitive Operation: The operating system is easy to manage with drag-and-drop functionality, which minimizes operator errors and speeds up measurement preparation.
The AX1200 strictly complies with the most important international and European railway standards, including DIN EN 15654, DIN 27201, EN 1436, DIN EN 50215, and UIC V660 requirements.

The wireless AX1200 ensures maximum mobility on site. The 300-meter range allows the operator to monitor measurements from a safe distance. Power is supplied by 2 AA batteries, which, under optimal configuration, can last up to one year, minimizing the frequency of battery replacements.
The wired system is ideal for environments where stable data transmission is a priority. This variant arrives with a portable terminal and an integrated thermal printer arrives. The built-in thermal printer allows for immediate creation of paper-based logs on site, which is essential for quick documentation and inspection. Power is supplied by rechargeable 24V batteries built into the system.
It is made from AX1200 tool steel and has a galvanized surface, which primarily serves as corrosion protection, ensuring a long service life even in extreme conditions. The IP67 protection rating guarantees that the system is dust-free and resistant to short-term immersion in water, thus operating reliably even in harsh weather conditions. The wide operating temperature range between -40 °C and +80 °C further strengthens the system's reliability in global applications.
The system's accuracy is outstanding: for a four-axle railcar, it provides an accuracy of 0.2%, far exceeding most industry requirements. Measurement with 10 kg increments allows for precise load distribution analysis.
The AX1200 is not just a measuring device; it is a complete solution for checking the axle load of railway vehicles, combining advanced technology with a user-friendly design and compliance with strict international standards.
