PantoCheck, Pantograph measuring system : OVERVIEW

Automatic video and laser inspection system for monitoring Pantographs

The pantographs diagnostics system , PantoCheck, automatically detects all pantographs passing through the detection site, prevents pantograph faults and consequent damages on the overhead line.

The pantograph measuring system is composed by high speed cameras / lasers and it is installed on trackside.
