A professional railway UV inspection
systems that incorporates the DayCor®
daytime corona detection technology
with shock absorbers and rugged
Designed to enable high speed automatic
detection of corona and arcing, provide
high resolution images and straight forward reports.
Characteristics
Rail is a complete inspection tool with the most sensitive Visible-UVc bi-spectral detection apparatus and absolute solar blind performance.
Rail performs accurately and reliably in high speed of up to 300km/h, without smearing the image and with high pinpointing resolution.
Rail is equipped with Ofil’s narrow angle optical lenses through which the exact pinpointing of corona/arcing emitters from distances—is possible.
Rail uses shock absorbers that eliminate shakings and jerky motions and provide smooth inspection
Rail is uploaded with proprietary/tailor-made software and to suit specific individual needs of railways companies

High speed riding without missing coronas
Background:
Railway inspection for corona and arcing is an important factor in securing reliable transportation, and where the public good is concerned.
Corona, being an intermittent phenomenon with typical repetition rate, is tricky to observe. The faster you ride the greater is the chance to miss a problematic spot. Scanning at lower speed yields more detailed information but the covered distance will decrease. The DayCor(® Rail is the solution for it is sensitive enough to allow high speed inspection.
The need to identify structures and document meticulously the recorded inspection videos need to be digested and produce readable reports for instantaneous action.
