This system has all the characteristics of railFOM-WEIGHT, adding the following features:


Wheel Defects Detection:


Detection of the existing defects in damaged wheels, through the vertical impact caused on the rail tracks. The system can detect wheel flats, ovalization, poligonisation, and in general, every defect of the wheel. This way a proper Predictive Maintenance of the rolling stock can be carried out, increasing on-board security.
