SmartGrind

Harsco Rail’s SmartGrind is a real time profile grinding analysis and quality control system utilized by on-board grinders and track geometry cars. The easy to use software system interfaces with optical rail profile measurement systems. On-board a grinder, two systems can be used as input; a pre-grind and post-grind system. The system provides railway personnel with grinding requirements and current grinding production.

  • Optimized rail grinding with maximized rail life
  • Monitors effectiveness in real time
  • Determines next pass requirements
  • Provides production reports for segments (curves, tangents)
