Tire component profilometer - Versatile flexibility

thicknessCONTROL TCP 7303 is a cost-effective and precise way to measure the thickness in a fixed position. The thickness is determined within the tire component system in the form of a length profile.

Versatile flexibility

thicknessCONTROL TCP 7303.ET is designed as a frame and can be equipped with up to three sensors. One of these combinations consists of a laser triangulation sensor and an eddy current sensor. The eddy current sensor has an opening, where the light spot and the reflection of the triangulation sensor pass through, forming a concentric measurement spot. These sensors are combined with a roller that guides the material. This roller is not necessarily a special measurement roller, it can also be a calender roller. The eddy current sensor detects the surface of the roller and therefore the bottom side of the tire component, whereas the laser triangulation sensor measures the top side. The thickness of the target is the difference between the two displacement sensor signals. As the measurement result is always based on the displacement measurement between the frame and the roller, the measurement is not influenced by temperature gradients acting on the frame.

The sensors are mounted on a linear guiding and can be adjusted manually in the X direction to the desired position.
