The Abtus ABT5650 RouteScan provides quick and accurate structure clearance measurements relative to the Permanent Way through the use of 2D laser scanning technology.
The unit is lightweight, electrically non-conductive and easily transported making it the ideal tool for a highly time pressured rail environment. In addition, the two legs detach easily from the body, allowing the whole kit to be stowed in two small carry bags.
Thanks to Bluetooth communication, the device can be operated from a position of safety, offering significant benefits over traditional gauging methods. Furthermore, the battery indicator button alerts the user to the remaining charge, and the battery can be removed or swapped by accessing the front panel through thumb screws. This allows for prolonged use of the RouteScan during long shifts.
The ABT5650 measures X/Y coordinates as single points or full profile scans, all referenced to the running edge of the datum rail. Additionally, the RouteScan provides the user with accurate track gauge and super-elevation (SE) readings, while the sprung gauging foot ensures consistent repeatability of both positioning and measurement.
