Finished Tire Defect Analysis
A comprehensive solution for automatic tire quality control using laser profilometry to accurately detect, classify, and measure all visible defects on both the inner and outer surfaces of the tire, including cuts, blisters, and embedded foreign objects. With AI-powered accuracy, our system ensures that only the highest quality tires reach the market.
In-Line Bead Assembly Quality Control
An automated system that ensures the correct junction and distribution of rubber on the bead core during the beading process. Using advanced 3D vision technology, the rubber thickness and junction quality is accurately measure, guaranteeing optimal pneumatic bead assembly.
Automated Color Band Verification on Tire Tread Production Lines
An advanced automated system utilizes RGB color cameras to ensure accurate verification of color bands on tire tread production lines. The software meticulously checks the correspondence of colors and their positioning relative to the edges of the tread, ensuring strict adherence to recipe specifications.
Automated Belt Coupling Quality Control
An advanced automated system that utilizes high-resolution 3D cameras and laser technology to create a custom profilometer capable of inspecting the entire width of the belt. By analyzing the junctions along the edges and center of the belt, we ensure accurate and efficient quality control, preventing common defects such as dog ears or folds.
Automated Belt Quality Control
An advanced inspection system that leverages high-resolution 3D cameras and laser technology to deliver precise, real-time quality control of tire belts. By meticulously analyzing the belt’s surface for defects such as wrinkles, folds, holes and dimensional inconsistencies, we ensure optimal performance and durability.
Automated Belt Presence and Positioning Verification
An advanced automated system that utilizes profilometers to accurately measure the thickness and positioning of belts during the pneumatic assembly process. This ensures not only that belts are present but also that they are correctly positioned, preventing assembly errors and enhancing overall tire quality.
Comprehensive Tire Dot Code and Rim Inspection
An advanced automatic system that combines laser profilometry and Color cameras for comprehensive tire and wheel inspection. By scanning the tire and using OCR to read the DOT code on the 3D data, we accurately identify the tire. Simultaneously, we capture the wheel image and employ image classification algorithms to determine its shape, model, and intended color. This ensures that the correct tire is paired with the appropriate wheel, preventing assembly errors and enhancing overall vehicle safety.
Barcode and IPC Code reading system for car tyres
Barcode and IPC Code reading system for car tires installed on belts/roller conveyors to verify the correct typology, quality, loading sequence of tires in the warehouse or on trucks in accordance with the loading list. Interfacing the system to the MES for the acquisition of the loading list and data management.
First Cured Tire OCR and Symbol Validation
Taking into account the plant sheet specification of the tire in test, consisting of a list of all the writings and symbols that have to be imprinted on the tire, verifies if all the elements on the list are correctly imprinted and placed on the tire surface. Additional controls can be operated, as the analysis of the deterioration of the mold, where the stamp height of the characters on the tire in test is compared to the expected one. A limit tolerance can be set to raise an alert when the mold is getting dirty, deteriorated or damaged.

LASER PROFILOMETRY
Laser profilometry offers incredibly fast, non-contact 3D surface measurements with exceptional resolution. By using triangulation between a laser line and an area scan camera, this technique enables a detailed three-dimensional reconstruction of tire surfaces in a remarkably short cycle time, making it ideal for quality control and process monitoring.
Color line scan cameras
Color line scan cameras offer high-speed, non-contact image acquisition with exceptional color resolution. These cameras capture detailed, full-color line images at incredibly fast frame rates, making them ideal for applications that require precise color inspection and measurement. By employing advanced image processing techniques, color line scan cameras provide detailed color data for tasks such as colorimetric analysis, defect detection, and object recognition.
Area scan cameras
Area scan cameras, offer versatile image acquisition with high resolution and a wide field of view. These cameras capture full-color images in a single exposure, making them ideal for applications requiring detailed scene analysis and object recognition. Equipped with advanced image processing capabilities, matrix cameras provide rich visual data for tasks such as machine vision, quality inspection, and surveillance.
Projected pattern sensors
Projected pattern sensors offer precise, non-contact 3D measurements and surface inspection. By projecting a structured light pattern onto a target object and analyzing the distorted pattern captured by a camera, these sensors create detailed 3D point clouds or surface maps.
For smaller fields of view, projected pattern sensors excel at surface inspection, allowing for meticulous examination of intricate details. In applications requiring larger fields of view, such as bin picking, these sensors can accurately locate and orient objects within a cluttered environment.
