25/09/2025 - A new chapter of a proven success – TrackScan 4.01

We are proud that Croatian Railways (HŽ) has once again selected us for the procurement of their push trolley track geometry measuring devices, just like 20 years ago.

The 10 TrackScan 4.01 devices delivered back then are still operating reliably thanks to regular maintenance. This new order is a testament to the quality and reliability of our products.

The project manager is once again our mechanical engineer colleague, László Farkas, who led the project 20 years ago and who is celebrating his 30th anniversary with our company this year.

His name is closely tied to the product itself: he has been responsible not only for manufacturing and servicing, but also for ongoing development. Currently, he is leading the design of a new multifunctional rail and track measuring device.

This recognition reflects not only the reliability of our products, but also the dedication and engineering excellence of our team.

A heartfelt thank you to our partners for their continued trust!

03/09/2025 - Track Gauge Measurement in Focus

The DIVA – Digital Track Geometry Measuring Device available in various configurations:

Digital (original version);
Analog (for those who prefer a simpler solution);
Pushable (for easier movement between measuring points);
Dismountable (pushable version with compact transport case – fits in a car trunk).

All instruments are available in versions optimized for different track gauges to meet specific customer needs.

Data is transferred to an Android app, where it can be saved, exported, and shared easily.

Measurable parameters include:
track gauge · check rail distance · flange groove width · cant (superelevation) · distance between guard rails

23/06/2025 - Switch residual force measuring device

We have developed the VME-02 specifically for switch machines with slide chairs and compression springs.

This device enables the measurement of the residual force generated during turnout actuation by simultaneously recording the force acting on the switch rod and its displacement.

12/05/2025 - Neutral temperature measuring devices

Climate change is causing increasingly extreme temperature conditions, directly affecting the stress state of continuously welded rails and increasing the risk of track buckling or rail breakage. These extreme conditions can also shift the rail’s neutral temperature range.
That’s why accurately determining the neutral (stress-free) temperature is becoming more important than ever. Only by knowing this value can we reliably assess how vulnerable the track is to heat-induced deformations. Welding rails at an incorrect neutral temperature can lead to serious accidents.
With our measuring instruments, the stress-free temperature can be precisely determined, even without dismantling the track, helping ensure optimal maintenance and improve overall operational safety.

25/04/2025 - Rail temperature measurement devices

Monitoring rail temperature is crucial:

Real-time temperature tracking allows timely decisions on speed restrictions or enhanced track inspections.
Our GSM-equipped rail thermometers automatically send alerts when critical temperature thresholds are reached – helping prevent incidents before they happen.
Temperature measurement also plays a key role during certain maintenance tasks, such as rail welding.

28/03/2025 - Versatility in measuring technique

We highly value our customers' feedback, which we use to continuously improve our instruments. This is exactly the case with TriboRoll, our coefficient of friction (CoF) measuring device, designed to assist in optimizing rail lubrication and other applications.

Our latest development features an adjustable support bar, enabling measurement on different track gauges with a single device.

17/03/2025 - Our latest collaboration

We successfully partnered with Goldschmidt Australia Pty Ltd. to establish a dedicated calibration laboratory in Australia for the RailStraight measuring device family, which is distributed by Goldschmidt.
The calibration base at the Australian location allows for faster and more cost-effective maintenance of these instruments.
Our team was on the ground for two weeks, personally supporting staff training and the successful launch of the laboratory.
Our company is always happy to collaborate on relevant projects.
