Profile Measurement Of Treads

The rubber processing industry, as well as the tire production process is supported by Micro-Epsilon with a range of systems for inspection, monitoring and control of miscellaneous processes.

Micro-Epsilon offers a comprehensive range of capacitive displacement sensors. These capacitive sensors are used for displacement, position and also for thickness measurements. Different sensor designs enable optimal integration into machines and systems. The capaNCDT sensors achieve best values in terms of linearity, temperature stability and resolution. While sub-micrometer precision is reached in industrial environments, even sub-nanometer accuracy can be achieved in clean environments.

The profilometer thicknessCONTROL TCP8301.T-Offline is applied for sampling regarding the extrusion process of treads, side wall and inner liner material. The system offers measuring results in high precision and allows therefore an efficient production as well as a fully recorded quality control.

During the production of inner liner, the thickness profile of inner liner material is measured immediately after the calender using systems of the thicknessCONTROL TIP series. Accurate precision of the non-contact optical system ensures high quality and security of the product produced. Sensors belonging to the thicknessCONTROL RTP series can also be applied for this application.
