RATIS

Inspection systems for rails and billets 

Railway rails and billets are essential and safety-relevant components of the transport infrastructure. During production in the rolling mill, these components are subject to strict quality control. Our RATIS inspection systems offer a family of automated, high performance systems for non-destructive testing of rails and billets during the production process, taking your quality assurance process to the next level. Integrated into the roller conveyor, the systems use eddy current and ultrasonic technologies to inspect for surface and volumetric defects.

RATIS PAUT: Phased array ultrasound testing system for rails

In order to inspect the rails for internal defects such as inclusions, laminations or cracks, we offer our rail inspection system with fully parallel phased array inspection technology. By using phased array ultrasound probes in a water-filled immersion tank, it is possible to automatically switch the system to new rail profiles within a very short conversion time. This allows flexible and fast non-destructive testing of different rail types with highest resolution. The supplied control and data evaluation software automatically evaluates the rails according to international or internal standards.

RATIS ETAT: Eddy current testing system for rails

For surface inspection, we use a system of eddy current array sensors equipped with ceramic wear shoes. With these, the rails are automatically inspected for longitudinal, oblique and transverse defects. The eddy current sensors are mounted on adjustable, self-guiding holders and are pneumatically applied to the rail as it is transported from the roller table through the system. A quick-change mechanism ensures short set-up times when converting the system to other rail types.
