Case Study: Innsbrucker Verkehrsbetriebe und Stubaitalbahn GmbH achieves safer bogie inspection and reliable measurement data with Hexagon ROMER Absolute Arm

Innsbrucker Verkehrsbetriebe und Stubaitalbahn GmbH - Customer Case Study

The Innsbrucker Verkehrsbetriebe und Stubaitalbahn GmbH (IVB), a major public transport operator in Austria, needed a reliable method to detect changes and deformations in the manually manufactured bogies of its tram fleet. To establish a verifiable database for long-term guarantee claims and ensure operational safety, they sought a highly accurate and easy-to-use measuring solution from vendor Hexagon.

Hexagon provided IVB with a ROMER Absolute Arm 7345, a large-volume mobile measuring arm. This solution offered high accuracy and straightforward operation, allowing non-specialist staff to easily collect precise data. The results immediately revealed manufacturing deviations of four to five millimeters between bogies, providing the evidence needed for guarantee claims and ensuring maximum safety for its tramways. IVB is highly satisfied with the Hexagon system's performance.
