MODULAR TIRE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM (MTMS)
For Passenger and Light Truck Tires
Designed to Optimize the Tire Measurement Process
Modularized for Flexibility, Efficiency, and Proven Performance
Measure Dynamic Balance, Geometry, and Force in a Single System
Minimizes Cycle time, Downtime, Floor Space, and Manpower Costs
Micro‐Poise’s Modular Tire Measurement System (MTMS) is a machine configuration combining tire uniformity measurement, dynamic balance measurement and tire geometry inspection into a single process. In its most efficient configuration, the system consists of the following modules:
Tire Entrance Station with Bead Lube
ASTEC® PLUS Tire Evaluation Center
Access Drop Conveyor Dynamic Balance Entrance AkroDYNE® Tire Dynamic
Balancer Test Station TGIS‐SL® (Sheet of Light) with
AkroSCAN™ integration into AkroDYNE Test Station
Access Drop Conveyor Uniformity and Balance Mark
Station Tire Sorter
Base on standard ASTEC PLUS and AkroDYNE performance criteria and normal marking procedures, the total system cycle time for the above
MTMS configuration can be as low as 21 seconds.
MODULAR TIRE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM (MTMS)
The key design features to achieve desired cycle time include:
Bead lubrication only once at the Entrance Station. ASTEC measurement cycles as low as 20.6 seconds. Automatic Tire transfer direct from the ASTEC PLUS to the AkroDYNE handler AkroDYNE measurement cycles as low as 18 seconds. Geometry inspection at the Balancer, not at the ASTEC PLUS. In this way geometry
inspection normally is not additive to system cycle time. Only one marker station. Uniformity grade results can be passed to the AkroDYNE for
Uniformity and Balance marking in a single step. Single tire sorter at the end of the system.
MTMS sacrifices nothing in the way of performance or flexibility:
Auxiliary features are easily added such as bar code reading, added measurement values, manufacturing operations communication, tire spotting, etc.
Other modules are easily introduced such as a second lube station, second marker station, entrance centering conveyors, etc. This may affect cycle time.
Tooling changeovers remain quick and easy. Refer to the ASTEC® PLUS and AkroDYNE® Product Technical Descriptions for details respective to each of these modules, and related options.
