Many tasks, one technology

“The ability to achieve efficient, repeatable, accurate measurements with traditional hand held equipment has been an ongoing challenge for us. In 2016, we purchased a number of the wireless sensor C42 Calipri units with wheel diameter gauges from Imtram, the local NEXTSENSE agent. The local and Austrian support provided is now a benchmark for us, ensuring a positive outcome for all of our specific requirements. Since implementing the Calipri equipment into the field, all identified issues have been addressed and we have not looked back.”

"With the optical measurement device from Nextsense there is no more guessing or rough estimation of dimensions and profiles in our rolling mill. By controlling the profile at each pass the stability of the rolling process has greatly enhanced."

Rolling Mill Manager, SOVEL S.A., Greece

"The optical measurement technique of Nextsense enables a simple inspection. The surface quality can be ensured already in the early phase of production and it reduces rejects. The system represents an enormous support for inspectors, as they can examine every defect in high-resolution on their screens." (translated)

"Calipri has opened up a whole new dimension of wheelset management in our workshops. In the past we were only able to rate wear values as "good" or "bad", but now we can record complete profiles and evaluate wear patterns thoroughly. This makes it possible to take targeted measures to minimize wear and maximize mileage." (translated)

"The S-Bahn urban-suburban railway in Berlin has been using the CALIPRI C40 to measure wheels since 2010 – a total of twelve of them are employed in six plants to regularly inspect and monitor 5300 wheelsets. The CALIPRI devices successfully defy the harsh working conditions in the tough S-Bahn workshop and they’re extremely reliable as well. The process of ordering and delivering replacement parts as and when needed is very quick." (translated)
