the gauge, clearance gauge or climate conditions.
The various models all are robust vehicles on axles
and the self-propelled models are equipped with a
hydrostatic drive on the basis of a DIESEL engine.

recognition of ultrasonic echoes which are tell-tale
signs of specific flaws in the rails, in accordance

MATISA technology is fitted with an expert system
which combines data stemming from the various
inspection channels with successive samples in
order to determine in real time the presence and
characteristics of internal flaws.
As a result, MATISA’s systems for the detection
of internal flaws in rails meet the most stringent
requirements and are both easy to use and reliable.
