AX Series – AX300 Dynamic Mobile Rail Axle and Wheel Measurement System for Freight Applications

Versatile, mobile, dynamic measurement system for measuring axle-by-axle or wheel-by-wheel loads of freight vehicles.

Description

Additional information

AX300 Dynamic Mobile Rail Axle and Wheel Measurement System

The AX300 is an extremely versatile, mobile, dynamic weighing system specifically designed for measuring the axle-by-axle or wheel-by-wheel weight of rail freight shipments while in motion. The system allows for rapid installation and flexible use on any standard gauge railway track. Upon completion of the measurement, the system immediately prints a weight ticket detailing the individual wheel, axle, wagon, and total train weights.

Key Features and Advantages

The AX300 system is designed to provide maximum efficiency and reliability in rail logistics:

  • Exceptional Versatility and Mobility:

  • The system has a mobile design and fits any standard rail gauge.

  • Installation is extremely fast, taking only 15 minutes, resulting in minimal downtime.

  • Portability ensures that measurement points can be easily relocated between different sites.

  • Robust and Weatherproof Design:

  • The measuring units feature an IP67 rated housing, guaranteeing reliable operation even in extreme conditions.

  • Tool Grade materials and the galvanized (zinc-coated) surface (primarily for rust protection, not cosmetic purposes) ensure a long lifespan.

  • Efficient Power Supply:

  • Comes standard with a smart battery featuring automatic sleep mode and low-power mode for optimal performance.

  • The built-in, rechargeable 24V batteries provide up to 10 hours of continuous operation time.

  • Advanced Connectivity and Control:

  • Features IP-controlled Ethernet for network integration.

  • Equipped with a built-in thermal tally roll printer for on-site ticket printing.

  • The included, customizable measurement software with drag-and-drop functionality helps operators easily perform measurements according to various global standards.

  • Flexible Configuration:

  • Available in two main versions: Standard (30,000 kg per axle) and Heavy Duty (40,000 kg per axle), capable of meeting numerous freight requirements.

PC Upgrade Package

An optional PC upgrade package is available to enhance the system's capabilities. This package allows the operator to generate detailed rail load weight tickets, providing full control over weight data, including the management of stock movement.

Pontosság Per 1-3% wagon Best accuracy is achieved under ideal environmental conditions (e.g., straight and horizontal track in the vicinity of the measuring unit).
AX Series Calibration ISO9002:2015 The quality assurance standard.

Achieving Accuracy

The AX300 system is extremely precise, providing an accuracy between 1-3% for per-wagon measurements. It is important to note that for achieving the highest accuracy, operation under ideal conditions is recommended. This includes the straightness and levelness of the railway track in the area of the measuring unit. During dynamic measurement, the system continuously compensates for deviations caused by movement, but the static track condition significantly influences the final result.

The AX300 is the ideal solution for anyone looking for a reliable, fast, and flexible solution for checking the weight of freight wagons without having to stop traffic or rely on special, permanently installed weighing stations.
