OPTIMESS RD is a robust laser scanner used for measuring the horizontal distance and the vertical difference in relation to the adjacent track. The laser scanner carries out reliable detection of the rail, and the calculations are performed and evaluated by the Data Processing Unit OPTIMESS DPU, within milliseconds.
OPTIMESS RD can be used both for laying new track and for repairing existing rail infrastructure (e.g., renewing the track bed). Custom-built control units and visual display units, and also software enhancements are also available to order.
