ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a non-contact test apparatus and method for evaluating an as-manufactured railway wheel, which apparatus has a plurality of non-contact sensors positionable in proximity to various wheel locations and coupled to a controller for communication of a plurality of sensed dimensional parametric signals for comparison to specified wheel reference parameters in the controller to thereby simultaneously evaluate several dimensional parameters and characteristics for qualification of a railway wheel satisfying AAR specifications for railway wheels.
