Function
With the aid of an SL series sensor (SL 2362), the material is detected and measured by means of laser triangulation on the tire building drum. This action is undertaken by measuring the distance to the surface of the drum and the material. Along with the outer edges and position, special attention is paid to the splice area. Here, various defects can occur that can be checked using the sensor.
Area of use
The tire building inspection system can be used in all lines where transmitted light measurement is not possible.
Application
The tire building inspection system is normally mounted on a mechanism provided by the customer so that it is always at a constant distance from the tire building drum. The signal from an incremental encoder is also required for the rotational speed of the drum. By measuring the distance to the surface of the drum and the material, the position of the material on the drum is determined. Particular attention is paid here to the area where the material is joined.
