RC uses a proprietary algorithm to process the raw data collected by its three displacement sensors and displays the roughness values. Each roughness value can be converted into a frequency, so the user can compare it with ISO3095 and determine when to grind rails. The sensor technology allows RC to detect rail corrugation as well.
Ease of operation is another outstanding feature of RC. RC runs automatically after you set the distance (2 km max.) and then returns to the starting point. The internal motor means a user does not need to push/pull the device manually like conventional solutions, saving considerable time and effort! The user can monitor the device’s status via wifi and can remain to the side of the rails, keeping the user safe from accidents.
