Tire component profilometer - Temperature compensation control

The systems of the thicknessCONTROL TCP 8301.CT/CLLT series are designed as O-frame where the sensors are integrated in the upper and lower belts. The profilometers measure while traversing and achieve high precision with an innovative, coordinated package of sensors, mechanics and software.

Temperature compensation control

The profilometers operate in differential mode, i.e. the thickness of the material is determined from the difference resulting from the sensor distance and the sum of the sensor signals. A sensor is integrated into each belt of the O-frame on a mechanical carriage. The thickness of the material to be measured results from the offset between the sensors and the measured values. They have efficient cleaning mechanisms that make them highly resistant to vapors and particles. Therefore, the system is ideally suited for applications in harsh industrial environments. Furthermore, it enables efficient operation of the production facilities due to long maintenance-free intervals, that allow the production lines to run longer without interruptions. Due to integrated in-situ calibration and temperature invariant components, they are also outstanding under harsh temperature conditions in rubber processing.

All sensor technologies are non-contact, wear-free and measure without isotope or X-ray radiation. Therefore, they provide long-term reliable data while avoiding consequential costs. Using a patented closed-loop concept for compensation of temperature driven expansion effects on the mechanics, the thicknessCONTROL TCP 8301.CT and thicknessCONTROL TCP 8301.CLLT impress with revolutionary stability in the ongoing production process.
