Measuring And Inspection Systems For Rubber & Tires

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.

The thicknessGAUGE O.IMS is used for stable thickness measurement of coating on separator film. The system is designed as a compact O-frame and uses a white light interferometer that traverses over the battery film. Thanks to the innovative technology, the thickness measurement is contactless from only one side. Two transport rollers stabilize the film belt.

Gauges and inspection systems from Micro-Epsilon are used in the plastics processing industry in order to ensure efficient production.
