TampingControl

Plasser TampingControl is a digital assistance system which increases the quality of work for a precise, long-lasting track geometry. Sensors on the tamping unit record and analyse measuring values during the tamping process. Support for operators: certain phases of the tamping process are automated and operators receive feedback on the work result in real time. At the same time, valuable information about the track infrastructure and the work carried out can be made available to infrastructure managers.

• ForceAutomation
  1. Various parameters to describe subsoil properties are determined during the penetration process
  2. Calculates the optimum squeezing force
  3. Automatically accepts the parameters or operating staff adjusts them manually
  4. Records the parameters used for documenting proof of the work performed
• BallastMonitoring
  1. The penetration behaviour of the tamping tines is used to assess the ballast.
  2. Recorded data are classified to derive objective decision-making criteria for performing any necessary maintenance measures (in line with the granulation size).
  3. This data is available in the DRP or the TampingReport.
• VoidDetection
  1. It is possible to see whether the respective sleeper is sufficiently filled at the end of each tamping process.
  2. Based on this information, an additional tamping process can be initiated if needed.
