The MiniProf Rail provides you with an easy and portable tool to monitor your rail profiles. The fast operation of the MiniProf reduces your exposure on the track.

The MiniProf Rail is a unique aid for rail grinding operations, providing instant information on metal removal and grinding stone tilt.

The instant and precise calculation of wear parameters enables you to optimise your maintenance. The MiniProf Rail is just as useful in the quality control of new rails.

Rail

The MiniProf Rail instrument is an easy-to-use, lightweight and handheld tool for monitoring cross sectional profiles of the rail. It is attached magnetically to the top of the railhead, using the opposite rail as reference through a telescopic rod. The instrument can be used on many different types of tracks, including grooved rails, and measures gauge and cant. A perpendicular device can be mounted on the telescopic rod to ensure a correct alignment with the rail resulting in a better profile and an even shorter exposure.

Switch

The MiniProf Switch addon extends a standard MiniProf Rail instrument to measure multiple profiles. It is attached magnetically and can optionally use a telescopic rod for reference to the opposite rail. With the instrument, each rail in a switch or crossing is measured individually and then combined automatically using positional data from the Switch addon. The result is a measurement containing all profiles placed relative to each other allowing measures to be taken between them.

TwinHead Rail

The normal single head MiniProf Rail instrument is extended to a TwinHead Rail with a fixed beam between two heads. The system is magnetically attached to rails in the track. The TwinHead is efficient to obtain maximum accuracy when joint profiles are measured without moving the instrument. The system is ideal for interaction studies between wheels and rails. Applications for a TwinHead are: Contact studies, Optimisation of wheel-rail contact, Steering/curve negotiation. Plug-in for calculating Equivalent Conicity is available.
