Railway axles belong to the safety components in the field of vehicle manufacturing, to protect human lives. The ultrasonic inspection, carried out already in the manufacturing plant, belongs to the fundamental quality elements in the production process. The concept of the testing system allows the parameterization of the inspection technology according to different international standards. The following tests thus are realized: Volume of the axle body by Longitudinal Test, volume of the cylindrical axle areas by Radial Test, volume of the Axle Transition areas by Transversal Test, longitudinal surface cracks in the wheel seats by Transversal Test, permeability Check by Longitudinal Test. The testing system was adapted especially to the requirements of fully automatic manufacturing lines. The testing machine introduced here, presents a new development, which connects modern ultrasonic testing technology with a high efficiency in production.
