Ultrasonic Rail Flaw Detector "Rail Tester"

'PRD-100A' (standard model)
'PRD-100C' (with rail bottom image enlargement function model)

The ultrasonic rail flaw detector 'PRD-100' is a flaw detection imager for rails which was developed employing our wealth of expertise in ultrasonic flaw detection. The PRD-100 detects internal flaws in rails a by means of the equipment installed on a cart which is guided over the rail by hand.
The inside of the rail is displayed in cross-sectional color in "B" mode ("B" scope) so even an operator with limited skills is able to make defect judgements easily.
The model 'PRD-100C' Rail Tester offers a new function which enlarges the image of rail bottoms for corrosion detection in additional to the basic model 'PRD-100A'.

/// Features ///

• Easy operation
  Specifically designed for rail testing, complex settings of conventional detectors are not required. The PRD-100 can be immediately operated when the power turned on.
• Adjustable monitor position
  The position of the main monitor can be adjusted to suit the operator, greatly reducing operator fatigue.
• Defect detection probe display
  LED lamp lights to immediately indicate that the probe has detected a defect during simultaneous 4-channel detection.
• Defect detection alarm
  An alarm buzzer alerts the operator when a defect is found.
• Continual recording of the detection image is performed with a videocassette recorder. The operator's comments can also be simultaneously recorded by means of a microphone connection. The detection image captured on videotape can be output with a video printer or downloaded to a personal computer which aids in the creation of reports.
