RCAD

Digital switch gauge and cant measuring device

RCAD combines easy digital measurements with the highest level of accuracy and reliability. It measures the common track parameters and can be upgraded individually with helpful accessories. The measurement values can be read off the central, backlit display. With the optional Bluetooth functionality, the measuring values can be stored in the device or can be transmitted to a connected smart device.

Handling with RCAD is simple and reliable. The manual fine adjustment and the backlit LED display ensure great legibility and precise measurements. RCAD runs with two batteries and its functions can be expanded individually.

Do more with Bluetooth
Bluetooth functionality enhances the measurements significantly. The measuring values can be stored or transmitted in real time to prepared tables or layouts and can be processed with the optional “MessApp”. MessApp is an own developed Windows application for capturing and evaluating of transmitted measuring data. Furthermore, tolerance exceedings are displayed immediately in the program.
