VIDEO DIX DEVICE OVERVIEW

APPLICATION OF THE "DIX" DEVICE

On electrified railways, without removing the voltage at the maximum distance from live parts that are under voltage.

For maintenance of the contact network, measurement of geometric parameters, verification and adjustment of the contact suspension, including during emergency repair work on the contact network, in difficult weather conditions, at any time of the day.

It is really convenient, with one easy device you can quickly remove all the main indicators. The measurement speed is very high, and the laser beam and sighting marker on the display will help you get into the cable line. Even in very bright, sunny weather, with the help of enlarging the picture with a wire on the measuring device, you can simply hit the target.

Application on electrified railways, without removing the voltage at the maximum distance from live parts under voltage. For maintenance of the contact network, measurement of geometric parameters, verification and adjustment of the contact suspension, including during emergency recovery work on the contact network, in difficult weather conditions, at any time of the day.
The "DIX" device manufactured by ALFA GROUP LLC is designed for non-contact measurement of the height of the contact wire suspension relative to the level of the rail heads and its displacement (zigzag, offset) relative to the axis of the current collector, as well as non-contact measurement of the pickup zone of the outgoing branch of the air arrow. Measurements of the state of the contact network are made in the process of walking around, which allows you to monitor the status of the contact network.

Determination of the geometric parameters of the location of the contact wire and the bearing cable relative to the railway track.

ATTENTION: When installing the "DIX" measuring device on rails, make sure that the guide bar is installed on the dielectric base.

Place "DIX" on the rails under the objects to be measured. After switching on, the measuring tool is in the mode of measuring length (height).

Simple measurement mode: Turn on the camera with the power button, the measured contact network will be displayed. Using the zoom button, if necessary, enlarge the picture. The target indicator reflects the hit of the laser in the measurement target; the measurement is performed by the measurement button/

Continuous measurement mode: In this case, the measuring device reflects the maximum and minimum value. In which the first intersection by the laser of the cable line is the contact network (minimum value), and the second value (maximum) is the load-bearing cable line. To switch to continuous measurement mode, select the appropriate function in the settings.

MEASURING DISTANCE 

BETWEEN AXIS WAYS

The "DIX" mobile complex has a module - an indicator of the axis of the measured path

The module - indicator in tandem with "DIX" allows with high accuracy to measure the distance between the axes of the railway tracks. Due to telescopic tripods, it is possible to adjust the height of measuring the dimensions of the platform at a height of 1100 mm., Laser measurements of the axis of adjacent paths through the platform at a height of 1200 mm. The height of the "DIX" tripod at a level of 1200 from the level of the rail head provides a unique opportunity to measure in millimeters the slope of the contact network support with respect to the base. Thus, it is possible to track the “collapse” of the support on the railway tracks.

TECHNOLOGIES 

MEASURING EQUIPMENT

What is the difference between measuring equipment technologies?

 Equipment for measuring the catenary presented quite a lot, but are divided into three main types of technology:

Стереоскопический метод измерения высоты контактной сети

Stereoscopic method of measuring the height of the catenary

A method for comparing two images from television cameras, through projection axes according to the algorithm and formulas, with reference to the dimensions of the device. Measurements take place on indirect grounds. Accuracy ± 20 mm to 6 meters, then ± 40 mm.

Ультразвуковой метод измерения высоты контактной сети

ultrasonic method for measuring the height of the catenary

Method for measuring the time difference of the sent and reflected sound waves from the measurement object at a given air temperature. Accuracy from 1% to 2% (± 60-120 mm)

Лазерный метод измерения высоты контактной сети

Laser method of measuring the height of the catenary

Method for measuring the time difference between the sent and received high-frequency laser pulses reflected from the measurement object. When measuring with a laser, about 20,000 pulsed measurements occur; this method is considered the most accurate with a minimum error (± 1.5 - 3 mm to 120 meters).
