Application
High speed & high accuracy
The tyres have to be checked within maximum of 4.5sec time to ensure that the complete process is not slowed down. So the scanCONTROL needs to work with a very high speed on the low contrast surface. The scanCONTROL 2750 is used with a profile frequency of 2000 Hz and the sensor delivers over 1 Million calibrated measuring points per second. So one height image has a resolution of up to 640 x 9,000 calibrated measuring points.
The distance between each profile is 0.2mm as well as the distance between two points within one profile in order to create square pixels. Therefore a circle on the tyre looks a circle in the image, not an ellipse.
High data rate
Because the DOT number can be on different sides of the tyre, the application uses two scanCONTROL 2750-100. One sensor for each side of the tyre. The high data rate can be achieved due to the high performance interface of the scanCONTROL sensors. Gigabit Ethernet or IEEE 1394 (Firewire) are available and capable to provide the bandwidth.
Perfect synchronisation
When the tyre is turned 360 the movement is not continuous. The application requires defined distances between each profile. So it is necessary to synchronize the tyre movement with the measurement. scanCONTROL 2750 offers with its high performing trigger input an easy way to solve this task. |
