Leoni to launch system for validating wheels and tires in Europe
Intelligent all-in solution for quality control – to be presented at the Automatica 2018 trade fair – Hall B5, Booth 307
The validation system, an all-in solution with intelligent software, is already being successfully applied at various customer locations in North America and ensures that tires and wheels are precisely fitted: 3D analysis guarantees the correct wheel and tire combination and supports automated quality control. This turnkey solution furthermore runs a large number of checks, such as of design, diameter, colour, profile recognition and tire dimensions as well as tire certifications and other markings.
The inspection system is furthermore capable of recognising the orientation of balance markings and fine details, such as the degree of surface shine. More functions can be added at the customer's request.
By storing more than one hundred wheel and tire models as well as combinations, but also through compatibility with all the equipment and industrial IP network protocols that are common in the sector, this system for validating tires and wheels provides intelligent means to evaluate results. The user-friendly interface with a touchscreen also contributes to the appeal of the product, which will in future also be offered in Europe and will be exhibited from 19 to 22 June at the Automatica in Munich.
