Moving Armor Target Track

Preliminary Designs: System I

 

 

• One concept for the track is the v-groove wheel

• The v-groove offers more stability but makes the clamping wheel more complex.

• Though this design seems out of the norm nearly all components can be purchased off the shelf.

 

 

 

 

 

• Keeps tracks separated 56.5 in, the standard rail width

 

• Cross ties have grove and pin system that allows for easy assembly

 

 

 

 

 

• Both systems use standard rail wheel

• Top system has wheels rest on cross ties

• Bottom system has rails rest directly on ground

• Both firmly hold rails at standard width
