Force Measurement Applications

The Art of Precision - Force transducers, amplifiers, mechanical constructions, software and systems for the quality control of railway vehicles

high-speed trains assume – just because of their mass and size – an unbelievable exactness in dimension and manufacturing processes.

A.S.T. delivers the key for the highest precision: Starting from the single measuring cell, modules and measuring systems up to calibration units there comes the complete precision chain out of one hand.

For adjusting a carbody to the tension-free position, the four sensors move upwards to touch the car body and then the software together with the precision lifting gear is controlling the height and displacement of each sensor until the correct force and tension free position is reached. In Shelf production the EKM 305 S system is used. After you have concluded the inside final assembly, the corner load measuring system EKM 305 F is pushed under the car body.The correct corner forces are calculated following the newest standard DIN25043 which incorporates the position of the center gravity. After the car body reaches its tension free position, you can measure the geometric dimensions.
