Inspection Of Color Codes On Treads

The IF1032/ETH interface module now enables to run sensors with analogue interfaces with the proven web interface. With the Ethernet interface, measured data can be easily displayed on a PC. Moreover, sensors can be connected to an EtherCAT bus. The RS485 interface allows connection of new sensors using the Micro-Epsilon specific RS485 protocol.

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.

The operation of the colorSENSOR CFO controller requires sensors which are used at the measuring point. Depending on the measurement task, the sensors can be individually combined. Moreover, these high-quality sensors with glass fiber optics are characterized by small installation dimensions and robust materials. This makes them particularly suitable for mechanical stress and harsh ambient conditions such as high temperatures. Since the sensor head requires only little space, the sensor can also be used in confined conditions.

The surfaceCONTROL 2500 measuring system is used for defect detection on diffusely reflecting surfaces. In combination with robots, the surfaceCONTROL 2500 is used for fully automatic defect detection on body shells. This system works according to the method of fringe light projection. By means of a learning process, local form defects such as bumps, dents, etc. are reliably detected, while permissible deviations are tolerated. The surfaceCONTROL systems consist of sensor, robot, computer and software and interface package. Different versions of the system are available, which are configured according to customer-specific requirements. The number of reflectCONTROL sensors and robots required can be flexibly adapted to the required throughput.
