Tire component profilometer - Application-specific solution

The thicknessCONTROL TCP 8301.EO series is designed as O-frame and offers outstanding capability for the measurement of large material widths as well as high precision in thickness profile measurements.

Application-specific solution

The systems operate in differential mode, i.e. the thickness of the material is determined from two distance signals. The combination of an eddy current sensor and a ThruBeam micrometer is mounted on one side of the thicknessCONTROL TCP 8301.EO while the material is guided by a measuring roller. The thickness of the target material is the difference between the sensors to each other and the amount of signal changes. With the color-independent measurement function of the integrated ThruBeam micrometer measuring the upper edge of the rubber, and the eddy current sensor measuring the roller surface at the same position, the system provides highly precise results. It is also equipped with an efficient cleaning mechanism providing high resistance against steam and particles. Therefore, it is ideal for applications in harsh industrial environments. In addition, the efficient operation enables optimal operation of the production line due to long maintenance-free intervals.

The thicknessCONTROL TCP 8301.EO also impresses with application and customer-specific sensors.
