Railway transport continues to play an important role in the transportation industry; due in large part to its speed, reliability, and affordability. To maintain this viability, ensuring train safety and integrity is key. Stringent regulations are imposed on the inspection of train wheels and axles in both the manufacturing and service sectors. To meet and exceed these strict criteria, Olympus provides the power and flexibility of its FOCUS LT/TomoView package to experienced and knowledgeable integrators, who are then able to deliver fully code-compliant inspection systems.

Железнодорожный транспорт по-прежнему занимает важное место в транспортной промышленности; прежде всего, благодаря высокой скорости, надежности и доступности. Для сохранения перспективности и рентабельности данного вида транспорта необходим четкий своевременный контроль. На диагностические системы контроля колес поездов накладываются жесткие технические требования, как в сфере производства, так и в сфере услуг. FOCUS PX/PC производства компании Olympus не только соответствует, но и превосходит строгие критерии качества; отличается высокой эффективностью и гибкостью, позволяя опытным и квалифицированным специалистам производить системы технического контроля высочайшего качества.
Масштабируемый блок сбора данных FOCUS PX и программное обеспечение FocusPC используют новейшие технологии ФР и УЗ для легкой интеграции в автоматизированные/полуавтоматизированные системы. Возможности FOCUS PX и программного обеспечения генерировать и сохранять исходные данные C-скан и A-скан делают их идеальным выбором для приложений, в которых результаты контроля основаны на анализе данных. Сюда входят приложения в таких отраслях, как аэрокосмическая промышленность (композитный ламинат), электроэнергетика (лопасти ветрогенератора), транспорт (ж/д колеса), металлургия (кованые изделия) и др.
Дополнительные комплекты для разработки программного обеспечения (SDK) FocusControl, FocusData и OpenView, совместимые с блоком FOCUS PX, позволяют клиентам разрабатывать собственное ПО.
