The FM4-LO contact wire measuring device is specially designed for static point measurement of contact wires. The laser beam of the FM5 determines the position of the catenary in relation to the track center as well as from the top of the rail.
This enables you to measure quickly and easily the:
- Contact wire height and stagger (zig-zag)
- Messenger wire height and stagger
- Distance between pole leading edge and track center
- Bridge and tunnel heights, height of crossing power lines
- With accessories: superelevation (tilt/angle)
Applications
- Project planning and construction of overhead line systems
- Regulatory and maintenance tasks on catenary and contact lines
- Calibration and control and of continuous, dynamic geometry measurement methods
- Optimized for mobile use in light and long-distance rail
High-precision laser measurement with up to 1 mm measuring accuracy
Designed for construction site environments
- Automatically illuminated high-resolution color display
- Camera display with digital pointfinder and 4x zoom
- Non-contact laser distance measurement with visible red laser dot on the target surface
- Single measurement or continuous measurement as supporting search function and for differentiation of distances
- Integrated brake for fixing the measuring device on the measuring rail
- Sealing against dust and rain water
- Minimum personnel requirements for logistics and measurements
- No influence on track return current as well as control and safety systems due to isolated track contact
- Bluetooth® 4.0 for measured value transmission to mobile devices
- Download of photos and screenshots via USB cable
- For measurements, acceptance tests and inspections of overhead contact line systems
Optional accessories
- LED lighting device for measurements in the dark
- Laser glasses for better visibility of the laser point
- Carrying bags and power adapter for more comfort
- Measuring bars for worldwide track gauges from 750 – 1676 mm
- Additional mechanical measuring system for superelevation
- FMcapture software for digitized data
