Analyse Tyre Performance and Tread to Optimise Tyre Design
Tyre manufacturers need to understand the changes of a tyre under various loads and applications to improve handling and response. This analysis tool provides insight for a better understanding of tyre design and how the tyre interacts with road surfaces.
Tyre manufacturers need to understand the changes of a tyre under various loads and applications to improve handling and response. This analysis tool provides insight for a better understanding of tyre design and how the tyre interacts with road surfaces. Analysing a tyre footprint with pressure mapping allows engineers to see how their design improves:
- NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness)
- Overall Performance
- Fuel economy
- Longevity/wear
TireScan™ Detailed Tread Analysis
Capture real-time tyre contact pressure patterns
- Capable of measuring almost any size tyre from passenger vehicles through agricultural and aircraft tyres
- Fully integrated, ruggedised solution
- Measures large tyre footprints at a high resolution
- 250K sensing elements over a 508 mm x 508 mm (20 in x 20 in) area
- Designed to handle harsh environments – shear forces, deceleration, toe, and camber
High Speed TireScan™
High-speed tyre performance analysis system
- Capture the impact of speed, motion, and inertial forces on a tyre at speeds up to 265 km/h (165 mph)
- An array of pressure-sensing elements scans at 20 kHz as the tyre rolls across the system
- Works with both flat track and drum high-speed tyre test systems
- Evaluate tyre performance at high speeds and identify failure modes
- Measure tyre distortion
I-Scan™ for Tire Bead Analysis
Measure the bead seat/seal profile of any tyre-to-wheel interface
- Measure bead seat/seal profile of any tire-to-wheel interface
- Acquire pressure profiles from outside the tyre, past the flange and bead, to inside the tyre
- Compatible with a slip ring for use while the tyre is spinning
- Long sensor designs available to capture inboard & outboard pressure profiles simultaneously
