Tyre inspection - Import export

The dimensionCONTROL TWI 7303.I tire width inspection system is designed for profile width measurement in extrusion lines. This measuring system is based on camera vision technology involving two cameras inside one measurement box. These cameras are angle mounted to each other and operate according to stereo vision technology which enables high precision measurements in the whole calibration range.

Monitoring tire geometry i.e. the measurement of radial or lateral unbalance as well as side wall detection for bulges, constrictions, dents etc., is one of the most important inspections at the end of the production process. The TGI 8302.LLT system can be easily integrated while offering precise measuring results.

The system TCC 8303.I marks the running surface which is output after the extruder, inspects the colour lines for their completeness and measures the width of the running strip.

For tire production, tread strips are cut from the extruded strip material. The system TLS 8303.I is applied in the extrusion line to measure the length of the strips immediately after the cutting machine in order to ensure a secure production process in high quality.

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.

The dimensionCONTROL TMWI 8302.LC system is suitable for the inline weight inspection of continuous running rubber profiles (tread pattern or sidewalls) for passenger and truck tires. Based on the force measurement principle, the inspection system uses two load cells which measure the deflection of the measurement conveyor. These sensor elements are attached to a massive construction, which ensures a long-term mechanical stability of the system. The measurement conveyor uses precise and balanced aluminum rollers with special surface treatment. This ensures a low deadweight, avoids influence of unbalance and eliminates material sticking. Data obtained from the load cells are processed in the implemented PLC cards which determine the measured weight mathematically.The software included offers a variety of measurement data processing, definition of design profiles, statistical analysis of measured profiles and diagnostic tools.

Micro-Epsilon tire uniformity and geometry machines measure force variation, runout, and sidewall appearance. Monitoring tire geometry i.e. the measurement of radial or lateral runout as well as side wall detection for bulges, constrictions, dents, week stamp etc., is the most important inspection at the end of the tire production process.

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.
