Multipurpose Tyre Footprint Pressure Measurement
The TireScan™ CrossDrive system is a fully integrated solution capable of measuring large tyre footprints at a high resolution. 250K sensing elements over a 508 mm x 508 mm (20 in. x 20 in.) area allow the system to measure footprints across a diverse tyre portfolio (car to truck tyres). The ruggedised housing is designed to handle harsh environments, allowing the system to collect footprint pressure data while the tyre is experiencing shear forces from acceleration, deceleration, toe, and camber. The intuitive, application-specific graphing and image analysis software enables quantitative and qualitative analysis of the tyre footprint.
Key Features:
- Dynamic recording and playback
- Graphing and data analysis capabilities
- Quick and easy generation of custom reports
- Durable & reusable sensors
- Thin & incompressible – dimensional stability is key for repeatable measurements
- Fast testing procedure. No ink, paper, or scanning
Key Applications Include:
Tyre footprint pressure pattern evaluation
Analyse various tyre compounds and tread designs
Assess suspension and camber
Tyre mold adjustment
Sipe and tread block design and testing
Road surface predictive wear studies
CrossDrive System Components
Components depend on system configuration. Additional items may be included with your system purchase.
- Base plate with fully integrated electronics that connect to a sensor with a large sensing area and high resolution
- Supports a wide range of tyre measurements with a single configuration
- Includes Equilibration Device (PB100K) to normalise all the sensing elements on the sensor, improving accuracy, and extending the lifespan of the sensor.
