We carry out a completely autonomous operational measurement for our customer over a period of at least three months. The aim is to record the relevant stress data of a motor bogie for a fatigue strength assessment in accordance with EN 13749.

For this purpose, over 30 strain gauges, various displacement and acceleration sensors were applied and a total of four rods were converted into force transducers. The measurement runs completely autonomously on the basis of trigger settings with our ACQUA measurement software. We use remote monitoring to check the correct functioning of all sensors several times a day and guarantee a very short response time to any faults. Autonomous measurement requires significantly fewer personnel resources, which helps our customers to save money.
