Checking the Dimensional Accuracy of Rubber Tracks with 2D/3D Profile Sensors

When manufacturing tires, the dimensional accuracy of the rubber treads must be checked at regular intervals. For this purpose, the width, thickness and profile of the black, glossy rubber tracks are precisely measured with a 2D/3D profile sensor. To ensure the safety of employees during maintenance work or machine malfunctions, the sensors are equipped with a certified laser shutdown. If the safety circuit is interrupted, the laser switches off while the sensor remains active. This reduces downtime to a minimum.
