New ReaSy® 5.0 for stamped rails

Our new ReaSy® 5.0 for reading and checking stamped rails has been delivered and installed.

The ReaSy® 5.0 system can read stamps on a rail up to a velocity of 5 m/s and is installed on the production line after our rail stamping machine STEMA®.

It consists of a special camera and special lighting with a wavelength adapted to hot steel to take pictures of the stamps and has a connection to  STEMA® for data transmission.

The user can observe the stamps of the rail in live view via a web interface and an interface to Level 2 makes it possible to obtain all information in the production HMI.

Since ReaSy® can read stamps directly on the production line in real time, the production team can react immediately to adjust the stamping process if necessary, e.g. reduce or increase the stamping pressure, adjust the stamping position or identify incorrectly inserted symbols in the magazine, and much more.

This saves time and money, as incorrectly stamped rails are avoided and staff can control the stamping process very efficiently.

The entire system has extensive heat protection and is tailored to the harsh environment of hot rolling.
