The model 4160U Instrument is intended to be used for measuring the rolling circle diameter of railway wheels on all stages of their manufacturing process, excepting measurements when trucks are not rolled out from under the rolling stock..
The measured diameter is represented on the screen of a portable electronic unit with a self-contained power supply built-in the Instrument.
The setting up of the Instrument is accomplished on a "Standard wheel" by a single depression of a push-button on the panel of the electronic unit.
