The MiniProf-Wheel is a reliable and accurate piece of measuring equipment, which anyone can operate. Its magnetic attachment enables you to measure the wheels of a complete railroad car in less than five minutes.

The MiniProf-Wheel calculates Sd, Sh and qR instantly and can also measure the wheel diameter.

The reliable information on wheel wear enables you to optimise your maintenance and safety efforts.

Standard Wheel

The MiniProf-Wheel instrument is an easy to use, lightweight and handheld tool for monitoring cross sectional profiles of the wheel. It is attached magnetically to the backside of the flange. The instrument can be used on many different wheel types ranging from trams to locomotives. Adaptations can be made when no fitting design is available. The instruments are normally used with a laptop for storing measurements. USB type instruments can also be used with a PDA making the use of MiniProf even more easy.

Lightrail Wheel

The MiniProf-Lightrail series are compact Wheel instruments designed for use on tramway vehicles. The smaller back plate allows the instrument to be mounted even if the available space is near to non-existent. The Lightrail intruments can also be made to take reference on the inner diameter of the wheel resulting in higher precision on the diameter. The instruments can also be placed on the outside of the wheel giving a much more flexible instrument to use in the field.

TwinHead Wheel

The normal single head MiniProf-Wheel instrument is extended to a TwinHead Wheel with a fixed beam between two heads. The system is magnetically attached to both wheels on the axle. 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.
