As a means of transport, the railway is gaining in importance, and this has inspired a large number of innovations. International rail traffic, for example, and logistics solutions need to be improved, but technical safety must also be guaranteed, especially for high-speed trains. Reliability and availability of high-speed trains depends significantly on the quality of wheels, wheel sets and wheel set axles. There are, indeed, already a large number of national and international rules and regulations, for example on the inspection of wheels, wheel sets and tracks, which take this into account. European and - not least - Fraunhofer research together with industrial partners have assumed a leading role in this process, resulting in international demand for inspection systems developed in Europe. Having said that, the systems do need to be adapted to suit national specifications. The HAT hollow axle testing systems are in daily operation for the periodic inspection of China Railway High-speed trains (CRH). Implementation of the systems and training of the operators has been done in cooperation with our partner Beijing Sheenline Technology. Also system maintenance and service occurs under this partnership.
