Tire Inspection

Automation Solutions for Tire Inspection

Robust multi-axis systems for automated tire quality control and uniformity testing.

Industry Applications
The Challenge

Uniformity & Balance Testing

Detecting minor variations in tire weight distribution and structural uniformity requires high-precision sensor positioning under heavy mechanical loads.

The TOYO Solution

High-rigidity ball screw actuators provide the structural stability needed for precise probe placement.

Our uniformity testing solutions focus on:
  • High Rigidity: Minimal deflection even when supporting heavy sensors at full extension.
  • Precision Feedback: High-resolution encoders ensure probes are positioned with micron-level accuracy.
  • Vibration Damping: Engineered chassis designs minimize resonance during high-speed tire rotation.

The Challenge

Visual & Laser Defect Detection

Scanning the internal and external surfaces of a tire for structural flaws requires complex multi-axis motion to maintain optimal sensor distance and angle.

The TOYO Solution

Multi-axis gantry and cantilever systems (XYGT/XYTH) provide the necessary degrees of freedom for complete tire coverage.

Key features for visual inspection:
  • Multi-Axis Coordination: Synchronized motion for complex scanning paths.
  • Variable Speed Control: Smooth motion at both high-speed transit and low-speed scanning velocities.
  • Compact Footprint: Low-profile GLTH series allows for integration into space-constrained inspection machines.

Sidewall Marking & Coding

Applying identification codes or barcodes to curved tire sidewalls requires precise velocity matching and distance control.

The TOYO Solution

Precise linear motion systems ensure consistent marking quality across varying tire sizes.

Marking solution advantages:
  • Constant Velocity: Jitter-free motion for high-quality inkjet or laser marking.
  • Long Stroke Capability: ETB belt drives handle the wide range of tire diameters in a single machine.
  • Industrial Durability: Sealed designs protect against the harsh dust and oils found in tire manufacturing.
