EFFICIENT QUALITY CONTROL IN TIRE RETREADING AND TIRE PRODUCTION WITH Intact® Steinbichler Optotechnik

Steinbichler Optotechnik is a worldwide leading supplier of optical measuring and sensor technology. The Intact shearography tire inspection systems by Steinbichler are used at numerous well-known enterprises for the non-destructive testing of passenger car, (light) truck, aircraft and OTR tires. With the fast optical shearography method, tires can be inspected reliably and unambiguously to identify separations in tires and casings. The Intact systems have successfully proven their functionality in the worldwide car-, truck-, and aircraft industries, as well as in the Formula 1 racing tire business.

Due to several patented developments, the Intact systems by Steinbichler provide the fastest technology available on the market. Features such as fully automatic conveying systems for easy tire handling, automatic tire size detection (no settings needed), clear result images and automatic defect marking for easy and fast result interpretation are just a few advantages the users benefit from. The dual machine layout with multiple measuring heads allows the inspection of up to 100 tires per hour from bead to bead by just one operator. The unique Intact OTR series offers a machine concept for shearography tire inspection in vertical orientation - thus, the tires can be easily loaded/unloaded with a common forklift. For inspection of the second sidewall, no tire flipping is necessary. With the development of the new Intact OTR 4300 system concept, a revolutionary inspection unit for EM tires of up to 4300 mm outer diameter is now available.
