Article: ESAH-Mobil: Diagnostic system for common crossings, the new generation 4
The life cycle costs of common crossings are extremely high compared to the rest of the track superstructure, due in part to their shorter service life (approx. 1/5 lower). Furthermore, of approximately 60,000 switches in the DB network alone, almost 30,000 are classed as heavily used, for example.
So it is not hard to see why switches play a very important role in asset management.
Would you like to ...
- determine the condition of your switches precisely and in good time in future?
- optimally plan your maintenance tasks, thus minimising operational restrictions and lowering maintenance costs?
Our proposed solution for you:
With our ESAH-Mobil diagnostic system for common crossings, we can extend the service life of a switch subjected to typical usage by up to 50% and thus significantly reduce life cycle costs.
To be more precise ...
- By identifying corrections and/or the optimum maintenance task, we can reduce stress on the common crossing.
Impressive added value:
With ESAH-Mobil, we can offer you an integrated product solution consisting of consulting, service (measurement, engineering) and hardware (incl. evaluation software), for example.
Aeras of application (Installation, Maintenance, Monitoring)
- Installation: quality control during acceptance/commissioning of the new switches
- Maintenance control and repair of switches: technical/economic optimization of the use of personnel, technology and technologies for the individual load situation.
- Evaluation of maintenance measures
- Monitoring of operation/availability: quantitative data-based condition assessment and forcast of the damage to be expected
Our service in „diagnosis and optimization”
From "Find and Fix" to "Predict und Prevent"
- Condition monitoring/assessment of the frog with the help of the mobile measuring and diagnostic device "ESAH-Mobil"
- 3D geometry measurement of the frog using the "Scorpion" laser scanner
- Evaluation of the results on the basis of technical expertise - superstructure, material and construction
Development of recommendations for action to carry out operational maintenance and optimization of the frog
