  • Publication number: 20230228826
    Abstract: A portable meter (1) for measuring a force generated by a magnetic apparatus (2), comprising a mobile probe (3) configured to be coupled to the magnetic apparatus (2) whose force needs to be measured, the probe (3) comprising at least one active ferromagnetic element (4) which has a configuration corresponding to that of a pole (N, S) on the magnetic apparatus whose force needs to be measured, the probe being equipped with alignment means (5, 6) configured to align the at least one active ferromagnetic element (4) with at least one magnetic pole (N, S) on the magnetic apparatus (2), the at least one active ferromagnetic element (4) having at least one turn (B)—made of an electrically conductive material—wound around it, and a detection unit (7) interfaced with the at least one turn (B) in order to detect a magnetic flux flowing through the coil at least during a transient of activation/deactivation of the magnetic apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10471564
    Abstract: A rail processing device (1) comprising at least a first (3A) and a second work station (3B) provided on a common frame (30), and configured to alternately lock a rail (2) when the latter is being processed, each work station (3A, 3B) comprising at least a first magnetic anchorage plane (4) configured to cooperate with a web (2A) of the rail (2) when the latter is being processed in the respective station, and a transport system (50A, 50B) to move the rail (2) from the first work station (3A) to the second work station (3B) and vice versa.
