Callisto: ProTamp - Inertial Track Geometry Integrated with Tamper
Callisto: ProTamp is built on a rugged inertial measurement unit containing a GPS receiver, along with an industrial laser/camera based gauge measurement system, industry standard track geometry channels are generated and communicated to the tamper. This allows for high speed pre-recording without requiring deployment of the traditional geometry buggies. With operational speeds exceeding 25mph, tamper productivity and quality can be increased.
Features
- Non-contact inertial track geometry measurement system that is fully integrated with Harsco Rail’s Mark IV and 6700 tampers
- Jupiter driven
- Provides full complement of track geometry channels: gauge, curvature, superelevation, cross-level, twist, left and right alignment, left and right surface
- Determines smoothed geometry from measured geometry and automatically calculates throws
- Automatic location synchronization using GPS and data signature
- Communication of data between tampers, or hy-rail and tamper allows for tandem work
Benefits
- Simple after-market add on
- Allows for high speed recording without buggies extended
- Interfaces directly with tamper control system
- Provides for a smoother and more precise track after tamping
- Allows for post record comparison to develop quality of work performed
