Laser-based profile measurement enables precise recording of tire profiles. This allows wear, dimensional accuracy, and quality to be reliably checked during the manufacturing process.

Laser-based image processing reads and checks tire markings such as the DOT code. This ensures reliable traceability and quality assurance in tire manufacturing.

During tire production, potential height deviations, bulges, and other irregularities are checked. Z-LASER solutions serve as a precise light source in conjunction with cameras and image processing. Thanks to the exact straightness of the laser lines and a uniformly bright projection, deviations can be reliably detected. This enables efficient inspection, strengthens quality assurance, and increases productivity throughout the entire tire manufacturing process.

Inspecting tire splices is crucial for detecting defects such as open areas, overlaps, or irregularities at an early stage and ensuring the safety and longevity of the tires. The laser plays a central role in this process, working in conjunction with a camera and image processing. Its precisely straight lines, which are visible on dark rubber regardless of contrast, reveal even the smallest anomalies that would be invisible to the naked eye. This increases the accuracy of the inspection and ensures consistently high tire quality.

The width and edges of the rubber tracks are precisely monitored using laser light, ensuring that subsequent process steps run efficiently and that changeover times are minimized through early error correction. What matters is not only uniform projection, but also line straightness and thermal stability. The robust laser modules are specifically designed for these requirements, guaranteeing high precision and process reliability.
