A range of equipment has been developed for automatic inspection of rolling stock. This paper presents developments for the inspection of solid and hollow train axles. In both cases inspection is carried out in-service, that is, without the need of disassembly of wheelsets. These systems have been developed at the request of, and in close cooperation with, the equipment & maintenance division of the Spanish national railway operator Renfe Integria. Together with a recently developed ultrasonic automatic in service wheel inspection equipment, these new systems represent the complete set of rolling stock inspection solutions based on INTERLAB IEC proprietary modular system ULTRASEN. To date, a number of these axle and wheel automatic inspection systems are in service in RENFE workshops throughout Spain.
