We are expanding our partnership with the Indian Metro and are pleased to announce two important milestones:
- Receipt of the annual performance certificate for the Real time wheels geometry measurement system 3DWheel installed in the Delhi Metro (second year of trouble-free operation);
- Successful completion of Factory Acceptance Test for the first of three systems manufactured for a new order.
Representatives of the customer and our partner, Swastik Overseas, visited RIFTEK and examined the production process, assessing the quality of the system's manufacture and assembly, the completeness of the documentation, and the software functionality. Together with our specialists accuracy and reproducibility tests, as well as an analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the data were carried out.
Wheel sets measured parameters:- Flange height, sH;
- Flange thickness, sD;
- Flange gradient, qR;
- Root wear, sD2;
- Tread hollow, Hl;
- Rim thickness, T;
- Flange rollover, Rf;
- Tread rollover, oG;
- Diameter, D;
- Wheel width, L;
- Back-to-back distance, B2b.
The results of the FAT confirmed all the stated characteristics, and approval was granted for the system to be installed at the Mandale Depot, Mumbai, the largest depot in Asia.
We are delighted to have the opportunity to interact with such inspiring professionals and thank them for their many valuable comments and suggestions, which we will certainly incorporate into our projects.
