Tire geometry inspection.


TGIS-SL end of line tire geometry inspection systems include the AkroScan laser sensor. This sensor is said to have increased the measurement area, and provides faster scanning rates, higher resolution and improved Ethernet communication. The AkroScan sensor is said to provide a huge increase in the measured area of a tire. The new scanning width allows for a more complete measurement of the tire. Not only can tire manufacturers scan more of the tire, but they can also test a larger range of product through the system, including truck tires, according to according to
