With a single track recording the ABT7000 enables Track Engineers to quickly identify, measure and repair Cyclic Top Faults and Trigger Points; ensuring line speed is quickly re-established without the need for a TRV recording.
Fully approved for use by Network Rail the ABT7000 also measures track geometry data such as gauge, cant, twist and distance.
The user interface allows track recordings to be viewed on site whilst also providing live maintenance guidance in the form
of lift recommendations and high/low point identification.
The Abtus Max isn’t just a tool for measuring Cyclic Top, the trolley has two measurement modes which are switchable via the user interface.
Track Geometry mode disables the Cyclic Top function and allows the user to record just gauge, cant, distance and twist.
A precision GPS receiver ensures future recordings can be conducted at the same location enabling pre/post maintenance analysis and preventative maintenance of known problem sites.
