The brake beam of railway vehicles represents a mass-produced, structurally intricate, and indispensable component. In pursuit of full automation and digitalization in brake beam inspection, we have devised an automatic brake beam inspection system leveraging linear laser scanning technology. This system possesses the capability to swiftly and autonomously identify and locate faults on brake beams, while conducting comprehensive inspections of various parameters. By conducting in-depth data analysis of the measurement results, the system delivers precise and reliable inspection outcomes, thereby guaranteeing the quality and safety of brake beams. The application of this technology signifies a remarkable enhancement in both the efficiency and accuracy of brake beam inspections, ultimately contributing to the overall improvement in the safety and reliability of railway transportation systems. This advancement not only streamlines the inspection process but also ensures a higher standard of safety for railway operations.
