The Development and Design of a Laser Detection System for Tire Thickness Measurement

Abstract:

This system is a self-developed real-time thickness inspection system including high-precision laser sensors and a mobile platform for on-line detection of tire rubber skin. The measurement data is used to calculate the standard deviation and process capability indices, and to evaluate measurement capacity. The system is a real-time measurement system in which the obtained measuring data compare with the standard value and show any errors. A technician can adjust the process parameters precisely on-line to improve product quality. The standard deviation of repeatability of the system for height is within +/- 0.0081 mm. The repeatability error of the horizontal sliding rail is within 0.0145mm, while the measurement error between this system and a coordinated measuring machine is within 0.028mm.
