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.

철도 운송은 운송 산업에서 중요한 역할을 계속하고 있습니다. 그 이유는 대체로 속도, 신뢰성 및 경제성 때문입니다. 이러한 가능성을 유지하기 위해,
열차의 안전과 무결성을 보장하는 것이 중요합니다. 제조 및 서비스 부문 모두에서 열차 바퀴 및 차축의 검사에 대체 엄격한 규제가 이뤄지고
있습니다. Olympus는 이러한 엄격한 기준을 충족하고 초과 달성하기 위해 경험과 지식이 풍부한 통합 관리자에게 FOCUS PX/PC 패키지의 성능과 유연성을 제공하며,
관리자는 규정을 완벽히 준수하는 검사 시스템을 제공할 수 있습니다.
확장 가능한 FOCUS PX 획득 장치와 FocusPC 소프트웨어에는 최신 위상 배열 및 기존 UT 기술이 포함되어 있어 자동화 및 반자동화된 시스템에 쉽게 통합됩니다. C-스캔과 A-스캔 원시 데이터를 생성하고 저장하는 FOCUS PX 및 자체 소프트웨어의 기능 덕분에 이 제품은 검사 후 데이터 분석에 기반하여 검사 결과가 나오는 응용 분야에 가장 적합합니다. 예를 들면 항공우주 산업(복합 적층판), 발전(풍력 블레이드), 수송(차륜), 금속(단조 부품) 등의 분야가 여기에 속합니다.
옵션형 FocusControl, FocusData 및 OpenView 소프트웨어 개발 키트(SDK)는 FOCUS PX 장치와 호환되므로 고객은 자체 응용 프로그램애플리케이션 소프트웨어를 개발할 수 있습니다.
