FRAUSCHER-SHORT-NOTES
„MNR – Interference Spectrum Measuring Instrument“ on trial at ÖBB In close cooperation with ÖBB (Austrian Railways) we have developed an „Interference Spectrum Measuring instrument“ (MNR – Magnetic Noise Receiver). The measuring sensor of the MNR is mounted on the inner face of the rail by means of a rail claw, similar to Frauscher‘s wheel sensors. Simple, both temporary and permanent measuring operations can thus be performed easily and without complications. As a result the MNR provides an indication about the frequency range found at the rail, caused by vehicles of various types and other sources.
New Company: Frauscher Group to form UK Subsidiary For years Frauscher Group has been active in the UK in the field of axle counting and wheel detection. This successful business development is now set to be pursued and expanded with a long-term engagement in the UK. To that effect Frauscher UK Ltd was formed at Yeovil, Somerset, effective as of April 1, 2010. Frauscher UK Ltd. is a 100% subsidiary of Frauscher Holding GmbH and will be responsible for Sales, After-Sales Service and Technical Support in the areas of railways, subways and light rail systems. Mr. Richard Colman has been appointed Managing Director.
Product Enhancement of Wheel Sensor RSR123

First Metro Project in China CRSC Chengdu awarded Frauscher GmbH with the order to supply the track vacancy detection equipment for the Yizhuangxian line of Beijing metro. The object of the Contract is the supply of an ACS2000 axle counting system using RSR180 wheel sensors. CRSC Chengdu is responsible for final assembly, installation and commissioning. The equipment had already been delivered in December 2009. Installation is set to start in June 2010. Commissioning is scheduled for the end of 2010.
Frauscher‘s wheel sensor RSR123 has been successfully used since 2007 in many European countries: as a component in axle counting systems, level-crossings, decentralized electric points (EOW) or hot box detection devices (HOA). Based on results and continuous monitoring of this longterm deployment in regular operations, it has been possible, within the scope of product enhancement, to further improve the availability of this innovative high tech wheel sensor, resulting in additional customer benefits. Frauscher is planning to apply for certification of the revised version of the RSR123 wheel sensor in April 2010 and to start delivery to clients in the second half of 2010.
