Case Study 03
Safer Rail Traction Motor Alignment Case Study
In this operation, the original process involved using a dial indicator and a mirror, which was later โ€œupgradedโ€ to a wired digital indicator solution.

However, this required running wires around the traction motor, posing safety and efficiency issues.

The introduction of the Bluedial Bluetooth Digital dial indicator enabled wireless measurement, eliminating unsafe practices and significantly speeding up the job. Operators could now obtain highly accurate digital measurement readouts directly in their hands without the need for cumbersome wires. This improvement saved hours in aligning the traction motor and eliminated dangerous practices.
