Capture & Analyze Tire Behavior at High Speeds
Tekscan’s High Speed TireScan™ system captures the impact of speed, motion, and inertial forces on a tire at speeds up to 265 km/h (165 mph). The robust array of pressure sensing elements scans at 20 kHz as the tire rolls across it. The software displays the tire shape and pressure distribution while in motion. High Speed TireScan comes in three configurations: Tethered, Datalogger, and Remote VersaTek™.

Key Insights from High Speed Analysis
High Speed TireScan captures key tire shape changes that can occur from centrifugal forces at different speeds. This example shows how one tire design was affected when tested at 48 km/h (30 mph), and again at 161 km/h (100 mph).

Rotating Drum vs. Roadway System Configurations
High Speed TireScan comes in three configurations: Tethered, Datalogger, and Remote VersaTek. This system can be mounted to a rotating drum or placed on a roadway. See below for more detail:

The Differences Between Datalogger and Remote VersaTek
Datalogger: Isolated data collection system; saves data to a USB that can be uploaded after the test is completed. |
Remote VersaTek: A Micro PC in the hub collects data locally, maintaining Tekscan’s fastest testing speeds. This allows the user to get real-time feedback and control via wireless connection. |

Sensor Models: 9505 & 9506
There are two sensor models available for this system: the 9505 and 9506. Both sensors have the same spatial resolution of 4.6 mm (0.18") and scanning speed of 20 kHz.
General Sensor Specifications:
| Sensor Technology | Resistive |
| Accuracy | ± 5% |
| Pressure Range | 0-4,100 kPa (0-600psi) |
| Thickness | 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) Not compressible |
Analyze Tire Footprint Pressure Profiles
The High Speed TireScan software module provides the tools for a more comprehensive and higher quality analysis. The software displays the pressure distribution data in multiple formats. The user has the option to create and customize reports from the corresponding tire data and export as a CSV or Microsoft Word file format.
