Eddy current testing systems from Goldschmidt enable the reliable detection of near-surface and near-edge defects in rails. Through the use of electromagnetic testing methods, typical damage patterns such as head checks, squats and incipient cracks can be identified at an early stage.
This non-contact testing technology is ideally suited for the rapid and efficient inspection of large sections of track, as well as for targeted detailed examinations. It enables continuous condition monitoring and supports the early detection of damage before it reaches levels critical to safety.
Thanks to its high measurement speed and precise detection of defect structures, eddy current testing enables the early detection of near-surface damage and its progression. It helps to target maintenance measures, avoid unplanned failures and sustainably extend the service life of the rails.
As an integral part of modern inspection systems, eddy current technology can be flexibly integrated into various measurement platforms and effectively combined with other testing methods to enable a comprehensive assessment of the condition of the rail.
