TireScanTM System
System Features
 |
The TireScanTM system is a unique tool used throughout the tire
industry to capture the tire footprint pressure patterns of passenger,
truck, off road, agricultural, and aircraft tires. Tire footprints can be
captured statically or dynamically with equal ease. TireScan displays
high resolution, multi-colored, images of the tire contact pressure
pattern in real time. The system’s very intuitive, application specific
graphing and image analysis software enables quantitative and
qualitative analysis of these images.
|
| For example, the system almost
instantly measures a tire’s contact area, perimeter area, tread length
and width, and cross sectional pressure profile. The system can then
easily compare the characteristics of various tires to each other or to
compare the characteristics of one tire to itself under different load
and inflation conditions. This information can help designers and
manufacturers analyze various tire compounds and tread designs,
conduct quality control measurements, perform competitive benchmarking, and assess vehicle suspension effects.
The system is turnkey.
Its USB connection makes it extremely portable.The TireScan system can be used with equal ease in the lab, the factory, or in the
field. Sensors can be placed directly on a roadway, a garage floor, mounted on a tire-rolling machine, or secured to a moving plank test
machine. Sensors can even be buried underground and simply driven over to take a measurement within the soil.
