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.

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.

P-series draw-wire sensors are designed for industrial measurement tasks. A compact and robust aluminum housing protects the sensor from mechanical influences. As well as analog versions with potentiometer, current or voltage output, digital versions with incremental or absolute encoders are available, providing measuring ranges up to 50 m.

White light interferometers use infrared light in the non-visible range (approx. 840 nm wavelength), which means that the measurement position cannot be seen. To visualize the measuring position, Micro-Epsilon systems are equipped with a pilot laser which projects a light spot onto the measuring position. In addition, the pilot laser uses a patented method to provide feedback on the distance in addition to the measurement position. If the measuring object is at the correct distance and within the measuring range, a constant glow is emitted by the pilot laser. If the measuring object is outside the measuring range, the pilot laser flashes.

The system RTP 8301.EO operates according to a combination principle consisting of a thru-beam sensor, an eddy current sensor and a measuring roller. The eddy current sensor and the thru-beam sensor are applied on an innovative measuring clamp. Since the sensor measures the distance from the clamp to the roller, the lower side of the material is detected. As the sensor performance is specially aligned with the measuring task a huge measuring gap is possible while offering highest precision. The thru-beam sensor detects the upper side of the material. The thickness of the target is the difference between the two signals. The measuring clamp is equipped with a pneumatically cleaning mechanism and therefore ideal for the application in harsh environment. The profilometer corresponds to the TIP 8301 regarding its functionality. However, it has a different operators´ frontend and evaluation functions.

Blue Laser sensors are preferably used with measurements on organic and (semi-)transparent objects, as well as for red-hot glowing metals.
