Geometry & Contact Wire Wear

Catenary Geometry & Wear System (CGWS) is a non-contact measuring system using laser scanners and high-resolution digital camera to measure height, residual thickness and stagger of up to 8 wires simultaneously at the top speed of 360 km/h.

Camera's extremely small integration times (50-100µs) eliminate blurring at very high speeds, making the MERMEC Group's measuring system the most accurate and high-performance on the market. With more than 5,000 measurements per second, the system helps maintenance staff to get the most from the life of contact wires while increasing the safety of the line.

Customizable sampling step (standard value 20mm) ensures precise localization of any potentially dangerous weak spots caused by uneven wear or damage from electric arcs.
