Track Measurement and Analysis

SonicVizio-TR-S

SonicVizio-WS-S is a trolley used in rail flaw detection on any type of track. Equipped with a 5 angled probe 40/70/0TR/40/70°, it allows the detection and characterization of internal defects inside rail, weld and all components of the track.

SonicVizio-TR-S product overview

The SonicVizio-WS-S is a system designed for rail inspection, enabling rapid defect analysis thanks to intelligent software that streamlines the inspection process. This version collects information faster than our other model, the UT walking stick (SonicVizio-WS-S)

  • Equipped with a 10 probes on each side of the track for comprehensive internal defect detection in rail and weld components.
  • Smart, customizable software enhances usability for both novice and expert operators.

PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET

Benefits of the SonicVizio-WS-S

01

Détection automatisée et complète

Thanks to its Smart Software, the SonicVizio-TR-S can automatically detect and index all rail flaws in one single pass. It saves operators time and ensures that no critical defect is overlooked during inspection.

02

Dual-Rail Efficiency

Equipped with 20 ultrasonic probes—10 per rail—the system scans both rails simultaneously, doubling the inspection efficiency compared to traditional single-rail trolleys.

03

User-Friendly for All Skill Levels

The intuitive interface and customizable Smart Software are accessible even to operators without deep ultrasonic or IT knowledge. Audible and visual alarms, real-time analysis, and simplified export functions enhance productivity.

04

Transport-Friendly Design

The foldable construction (down to 1000 mm width) makes it easy to transport in standard utility vehicles, ideal for urban environments and remote areas alike.

05

Minimal Maintenance

The system’s components are robust and designed for minimal daily maintenance. Worn parts can be easily replaced with basic tools on-site, ensuring maximum availability and lower ownership costs.

06

Comprehensive Rail Coverage

Adaptable to various rail types and gauges (1000 mm to 1668 mm), the TR-S can inspect everything from tramways to high-speed tracks, extending its operational reach.

Technical features of the SonicVizio-WS-S

01

Advanced Ultrasonic Probes

The system uses 20 probes with multiple detection angles (40°, 70°, 0°TR, -70°, +70°) to capture a full range of defect types—from internal cracks to surface wear—with a detection resolution down to 0.5 mm.

02

Smart Localization System

Equipped with GPS and encoder input, every flaw is geolocated precisely, ensuring full traceability and easier planning for maintenance interventions.

03

Durable Yet Lightweight Design

Constructed from carbon fibre, the TR-S offers an ideal balance of rigidity and lightness (35 kg without the water tank), simplifying on-track operation without sacrificing robustness.

04

High-Performance Software

The SonicView UT software allows full customization of scan displays (A-Scan, B-Scan), integration of defect data, post-inspection analysis, and extensive export options (PDF, CSV, XLS).

05

Long Autonomy and Field Adaptability

A 40L tank provides up to 10 km of inspection autonomy, and the rugged 14” tablet ensures up to 9 hours of field use under all weather conditions (from -10° to 50°C).

06

Standard-Compliant & Homologated

The system is certified under EN and ISO standards for ultrasonic rail testing and has SNCF homologation (n°DEO 19101), ensuring compliance with key European safety and testing regulations.
