Disc Brakes Profile Gauge. IKD Series

Disc Brakes Profile Gauge. IKD Series Safety precautions and measurement conditions · Prior to mounting the profilometer onto the wheel/disk, areas of contact of the side supports with the wheel/disk surface should be thoroughly cleaned from dirt. · When mounting the module on the wheel/disk, do not allow heavy shocks of its support against the wheel/disk. · The output window of the profilometer and profilometer supports must be carefully inspected and cleaned. · Do not use laser module in locations close to powerful light sources. The profilometers have been developed for use in industry and...

Disc Brakes Profile Gauge. IKD Series Overall dimensions of the scanning module for the disc brakes installed on the wheel are shown in Figure 6: Example of mounting the IKD onto the disc brakes (Figure 7):

Disc Brakes Profile Gauge. IKD Series Overall dimensions of the scanning module for the disc brakes installed on the wheelset axle are shown in Figure 8: Example of mounting the IKD onto the disc brakes installed on the wheelset axle (Figure 9):

Disc Brakes Profile Gauge. IKD Series Removable bracket installation IKD without a removable bracket is used for the disc brakes installed on the wheel (Wheel-mounted). To measure the disc brakes installed on the wheelset axle, the profilometer comes with a removable bracket (RF506.51.008). The bracket is fastened to the IKD support using 4 screws. Attention! After installing or removing the bracket (RF506.51.008), it is necessary to calibrate the profilometer on the supplied calibration block before starting to measure the disk brakes!

Disc Brakes Profile Gauge. IKD Series Calibration blocks The profilometer can come with the calibration blocks of two types: · calibration block for the disk brakes installed on the wheel, · calibration block for the disk brakes installed on the wheelset axle.

Disc Brakes Profile Gauge. IKD Series Operation principle Operator mounts the laser scanning module onto the disk to be measured. Having received a command from PDA or PC, the laser module performs non-contact scanning of the disk surface. Measurement results (geometric parameters and profile of the surface) are displayed on PDA, can be saved in the PDA memory, and transferred to the PC database. Simultaneously, additional parameters can be saved: operator number, side identifier (left or right wheel), axis number, locomotive (carriage) number, etc. 10. Geometric parameters of the brake disc...

Disc Brakes Profile Gauge. IKD Series First activation and measurement procedure Charge accumulators of the laser module and indication device by connecting them to charging devices (see par. 25). Activation · Turn the PDA on by pressing the button (1), Figure 3. The PDA screen will show the main program window containing: main menu; indicators of PDA and laser module charging degree; indicator of Bluetooth connection. Setting the PDA basic parameters (p.12) Setting the measurement parameters (p.13) Setting parameters of database, tolerances, and others (p.14) View the disk profile (p.18) · Switch...

Disc Brakes Profile Gauge. IKD Series There are two types of measurements: 1. Rapid measurements without saving the results. 2. Measurements by using the selected scheme with saving results to database. The measurement procedure by using type 2 is described in par. 17. How to select the measurement type see in par. 12.1. Measurement by using the scheme (type 2) is used for full-featured work with the profilometer with maintaining the database of measurements. Attention! Before installing the scanning module onto the disk you need to clean of dirt the areas, where the basic supports of the laser...

Disc Brakes Profile Gauge. IKD Series · Make sure that the module is mounted correctly without any misalignment and gaps. · Tap the Measurement button on the PDA display. · The laser module is scanning the disk surface. During the scanning process (3-4 seconds), a red LED (3) is lit. · When the scanning process is compete, the PDA will show the values of measured parameters selected for displaying (see par.13.2.). When the parameter goes beyond the set limits, its value is highlighted in red: · To view the disk profile, tap the Profile button: · If you scan the calibration block or the reference...
