Repair of locomotive units on the basis of the COMPACS resource-saving technology

COMPACS^®-EXPRESS permanent station for condition monitoring of wheel motor units (WMU) of electric multiple units and linehaul electric locomotives realized on the basis of the COMPACS^® system enables simultaneous diagnostics of quality of all WMU of a certain locomotive, several locomotives on a random basis or overall train according to conditions of repair shop.

The implementation of COMPACS^®-EXPRESS permanent station for vibration analysis with automatic control over WMU enables to increase reliability and objectivity of evaluation of technical condition of WMU parts, and reliability of the results by automatic continuous vibration monitoring of current status of the unit on a trial basis, self-diagnostics of the sensors and overall measurement process. Thus, the quality of repair and reliability of electric stock are increasing as well.
