Penta UKI, a leader in advanced electrical safety solutions, proudly announces the launch of the CTS Tension Meter, a groundbreaking tool designed specifically to enhance safety and operational efficiency within the rail network. The CTS (Cable Tension System) is a state-of-the-art device that provides precise, real-time measurements of tension in overhead catenary systems, ensuring that rail infrastructure meets the highest standards of safety and reliability.

As rail networks continue to expand, so does the demand for dependable, advanced monitoring tools that guarantee the smooth operation of trains and ensure public safety. The CTS Tension Meter is engineered to meet these requirements, offering unmatched precision and ease of use for rail engineers and technicians.

Once fitted to the cable, measurements are delivered via Bluetooth to a mobile phone via the app. With an intuitive digital display and easy-to-use controls, the CTS simplifies the process of monitoring cable tension, reducing time spent on inspections and improving overall efficiency.

Kevin Rushton, Managing DIrector at PENTA UKI, commented on the release: “The CTS Tension Meter is a game-changer for the rail industry. With this device, we are helping rail operators maintain the integrity of their overhead line systems while improving efficiency and safety. Our mission is to support the ongoing development of rail infrastructure, ensuring that rail networks can meet the demands of the future.”

The CTS Tension Meter has already garnered interest from key players in the rail industry, with several major rail networks adopting the technology to enhance their inspection and maintenance routines. By providing real-time, accurate data, the CTS allows operators to make informed decisions, reducing the risk of costly disruptions and accidents caused by incorrect tension on the contact wire.
