INFINITY(HIGH SPEED)
Electronic Weigh Sleeper In-Motion Train Scale Up to 85kmh
In 2003 Trakblaze was the first company in the world to achieve Govt. Trade Approval up to 85kmh!
Installed Infinity
This latest technology in train weighing is ideal for High-Speed train weighing up to 80kmh(dependant on track/site conditions and test train/rolling stock). Concrete foundation or civil works are not always required, however this is greatly dependant upon site conditions, although some form of ballast stabilisation is highly recommended. (Our ballast matting is a low cost alternative to concrete) Our unique bracing technique has been used to provide maximum stability of the train scale in the ballast. This also helps to eliminate impact effects at the weighing transition points, by having the steel framework as one complete rigid section, in turn greatly enhancing weighing accuracy and scale reliability. The INFINITY consists of 6 electronic weigh sleepers & 14 dummy sleepers braced together forming one solid structure, including accessories, control cabinet and PC train weighing software.
FEATURES
Actual reliable loadcell based system. No rail cutting, welding or grinding required. Minimal installation/repair track down time. Temperature compensated.
Approx. Accuracy: Wagon: Class 0.5 ~ 2 (OIML) Total Train: Class 0.2 ~ 1 (OIML) Note: Accuracy is dependant upon the condition of the railway track, rolling stock & site conditions.
Installation takes approximately 1-2 days. Results can be accessed from any location via the internet.

WIZ
Wagon Identification System
Trackside Readers
Reading a tag
The WIZ identification system operates on the principal of modulated backscatter. The trackside reader/antenna sends a continuous unmodulated radio frequency (RF) signal, which is received by the tag(transponder). The tag on the vehicle reflects a small part of this RF energy back to the reader/antenna. The reflected radio waves denote the tag's unique id and other stored data which is transmitted to a PC.

FORCE
Unmatched Speeds & Accuracies
MANAGING LOADS FOR IMPROVED SAFETY AND REDUCED MAINTENANCE COSTS Load Sensors Each weigh pad incorporates multiple heavy duty OIML approved temperature compensated load cells. The positioning of these sensors within the pad allows for off-centre wheel loads to be measured accurately and with a safe over load sufficient to deal with the inertia and shock effects of a loaded mining truck braking on the weigh pad. Accuracy Accuracies of 0.05% in static mode and 0.5% in dynamic Indicators for static weights (in-motion) mode approx. are achievable dependent upon site conditions and operator. Controller The FORCE system features a touch screen PC controller mounted in a stainless steel weatherproof enclosure loaded with custom software to accurately measure the load on each wheel either statically or in-motion up to a speed of approx.12km/h. Total truck weight is derived from the summation of the individual wheel and axle loads. (Note: These are the same electronics & software used in our high speed, up to Portable controller available in carry case 80kmh govt. trade approved train weighing systems, hence the reason we can achieve such high speeds and accuracies.) Calibration Each FORCE system is factory calibrated prior to shipment. We also offer an optional in-field calibration portable test press unit, which can be used at site by local service personnel.

MBW
Mobile/Portable Bogie Test - Assembly - Measuring System
(Can be transported to any location)
The advantages of the new and unique mobile/por table bogie weighing system are huge, as it can be easily moved to any required location, quickly set up and requires minimum operator training. The MBW mobile/portable bogie test rig (Bogie Maintenance System) in its current design is for light rail vehicles. The new design distinguishes from commonly used pressing measurement test rigs by usage of the new pulling principle, which allows an especially compact setup. The MBW Mobile Bogie Weigher simulates operational loads which means defined forces acting on the bogie, and captures data as wheel reaction forces, parallelism of axles and wheel discs as well as several other geometric measures at the same time.

This is how it works: One fixture contains a laser emitting laser ray. The ray is shielded by a flexibly supported iron tube. A passing wheel will bend the rail and displace the laser light spot downwards, proportionally to the bending moment. Thus the bending moment is detected with unmatched precision. Wheel Defects No matter large or small, TURBO finds them all.
Over Load Overloaded wagons will not go unnoticed anymore. A trains finger print gives comprehensive information in a nutshell.
Precision Same train, same TURBO, two days apart, identical results.
Sites Many railways all over the world use TURBO. High speed or regional trains, heavy haul or tram, TURBO suits all.

High-Speed Road Weigh-In-Motion & Classification System
The HI-TRAC 100 high-speed weigh-in -motion and traffic data collection system provides a low cost means of recording vehicle classification and axle load data without interruption to traffic flows. In the standard configuration, two piezo electric sensors and one induction loop are installed in the highway per lane of detection. The piezo electric sensors measure axle speeds and inter-axle spacing. The induction loop detects vehicle presence and measures the vehicle length. If Class 1 piezo electric sensors are employed, axle weight data can also be attained.
Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) operation Laptop & Modem Communication Ports Telemetry output module for data download via mobile t elephone network Classification of over 100 unique vehicle types Vehi cle-by-Vehicle (VBV) data storage High speed compressed vehicle data transm ission At le ast 10,000 vehicle records per minute typically 20,000 New Automatic Number Plate ANPR Interface with GPS time synchronization Vie wing of sensor waveforms for fault diagnosis vi a the HI-COMM 100 software package Me mory upgrades by replacement PCMCIA SRAM card Output to text insertion module for CCTV camera connection RS485 Communication Port (Data transmission up to 1km) 4-Lane operation as standard Expandable to 8-lanes
Incident detection and event monitoring functions can be incorporated along with message sign activation and CCTV interface for text insertion and automatic number plate recognition (ANPR). The system can be used as a statistical data gathering device to record the pattern of highway traffic loading. It is also employed as a screening weighbridge to identify overloaded vehicles in the traffic stream. In the latter configuration the output from the system controls traffic signals and diversion signs to intercept overloaded vehicles and direct them off the highway. The HI-TRAC 100 is complimented by the HI-COMM 100 software package. HI-COMM 100 provides data retrieval via modem and laptop as well as data analysis facilities and system diagnostic functions.
