Underfloor Wheelset Ultrasonic Testing (UWT)

Underfloor Wheelset Ultrasonic Testing (UWT) is a mobile automated NDT testing system for wheelsets in service. It moves in a maintenance pit, locates itselfs under each wheelset and perform NDT testing simutaneously on one wheelset. It can parallel operate with underfloor wheel lathe in the same pit. Two UWTs can also collaborate to perform testing on wheelsets of a bogie.

Features

  • Fully automated underfloor NDT testing
  • Phased array ultrasonic testing
  • Detection of defects in wheel flange, tread, rim and disc
  • Flaw detectability: Φ2mm FBH
  • Wheel diameter range: 750mm ~ 1300mm
  • Inspection time: 8min/wheelset
  • AI-supported flaw analysis
  • Parallel operation with underfloor lathe in the same pit

Your Benefits

  • Reduce manual heavy labor
  • Safety control of wheelset lifecycle
