MEASURE & INSPECT / WHEEL LOAD

Know what every wheel is actually carrying.

Wheel-load balance is invisible until it is measured. POWERVE makes that balance visible so maintenance teams can correct the vehicle and verify the result.

In practice: put the system on the rail, move the vehicle across it, and see the load carried by each wheel.

TECHNOLOGY PRINCIPAL

IVM

Italy · Railway measurement specialist

Portable wheel-load measurement, condition monitoring and lifecycle measurement support.

PRODUCT OPTIONS

POWERVE is one product family, sized around the vehicle.

The public decision is simple: choose how many wheelsets need to be measured together and whether the need is permanent equipment or occasional measurement support.

01

POW2X / POW3X

Measure two or three wheelsets at the same time.

Best for: bogies, compact vehicles and three-axle configurations

02

POW4X

Measure four wheelsets in one setup.

Best for: many metro, EMU and locomotive applications

03

POW6X

Measure six wheelsets simultaneously.

Best for: six-axle locomotives and longer measurement setups

04

Onsite Weighing Service

Use POWERVE without first buying a complete system.

Best for: pilots, temporary demand and proof-of-concept work

05

Calibration & Repair

Keep the measurement chain controlled through the product lifecycle.

Best for: installed systems that need continued availability

HOW IT WORKS

Measure → correct → verify.

01

Place the sensors

Turn a suitable track into a temporary measurement point.

02

Move the vehicle

Each wheel passes through the measurement sequence.

03

See the distribution

Compare how the load is shared across wheels and axles.

04

Correct and repeat

Verify the effect of suspension or setup work.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Correct total weight does not guarantee correct wheel loading.

A vehicle may weigh the expected total and still distribute that weight badly. The maintenance question is not only how heavy the vehicle is, but how that load reaches the rail.

Before: balance is assumed from setup or total vehicle weight.

After: wheel-by-wheel vertical load is measured and documented.

CBP'S ROLE

The product is only useful when it fits the real railway job.

CBP defines the vehicle configuration, coordinates the IVM technical route, supports commissioning and training where required, and structures calibration and lifecycle support.

NEXT STEP

Need wheel-load evidence before the vehicle returns to service?

Send the vehicle type, axle arrangement and maintenance objective. CBP will determine the appropriate POWERVE route with IVM.
