News and developments
We develop and build our technology from our workshop in Sheffield, UK. Innovation is the foundation of our business and the PRT300 is just the beginning. We’ll be using this page to keep you updated on exciting new developments.
Leaf layer formation and measurements
Our tribometer has been included in Rail Safety and Standards board protocols for formation and measurement of low adhesion conditions using leaf layers.
We can offer this to test or optimise railhead treatments, as a consultancy service.
GPS
Our latest firmware update introduces GPS, for geolocated results which can be fed into data libraries and adhesion models
Gauge corner
Just around the corner!
We’ve been working on this for a while. In other tribometer technology the wheel is not always perpendicular to the rail surface which introduces creepage errors.
Our new system is designed for accurate, repeatable measurements in all rail positions.
Friction measurement trolley
Continuous, geolocated friction measurements?
It’s going to be a gamechanger!
