Manual overhead line inspections need possessions and power shutdowns.
Rail · Contact wire wear measurement
CATPRO
Know your contact wire wear. Without switching off the power.
CATPRO is a pantograph-mounted optical system that continuously measures overhead contact wire wear during live operation — so maintenance is planned, not reactive.

The problem / Operational challenges
Why operators switch.
Wire wear is found after failures, not before.
Inspection data sits apart from maintenance planning.
The result / Measurable value
Less cost. More certainty.
Save Money
Significantly fewer manual inspections and better forecasting of maintenance spend.
Save Time
Measures during live operation with traction voltage switched on — no possessions needed.
Reduce Wear & Tear
Predictive alerts prevent wire failures and extend overhead line life.
How it works / From load to readout
Precision, step by step.
- 01
CATPRO is installed on the pantograph with minimal modification.
- 02
The vehicle runs in normal service.
- 03
Laser and 3D stereo cameras measure residual cross-section and torsion of the contact wire.
- 04
Real-time data and configurable alerts feed your maintenance planning.
