New Laser line scanner from RIFTEK uses the triangulation measurement principle and is intended for high-speed acquisition of profiles of rails.
A specific feature of the scanner is the use of a high-power (more than 1 W) IR laser, which allows obtaining the scanning speed of 500 profiles/s and considerably reduce effects of solar radiaion. The final system consists of four scanners, positioned under rail vehicle, and allows taking profile measurements at speeds higher than 100 km/hour.
