TGIS FS

The TGIS FS Tire Geometry Inspection System with Micro-Tech^TM TrueView^TM Laser Sensor Technology is the most complete, flexible, and efficient solution for measuring finished tire surfaces for bulges, dents, and other anomalies that may affect tire appearance and/or performance.

The TGIS FS has been simplified to eliminate the need for sensor positioning and set-up for every tire type tested. Three TrueView^TM sensors are positioned at fixed locations to measure each sidewall and the tread surface. Utilizing identical TrueView^TM sensors for the upper lateral, lower lateral, and radial sensors reduces the spare parts stocking requirements from three to one.

TGIS FS offers flexible software packages tailored for varying levels of measurement detail:

• Full track scans the tread surface and each sidewall and presents the results for user defined test regions.
• Decoration & Lettering Removal (DLR) software eliminates patterns and mold engravings to measure only the underlying tire surface. Full sidewall scan regions are set and detected automatically.
• Image Storage captures scanned images efficiently for use in other aspects of the process to advance analytical capabilities and/or to record quality control data permanently.

Additional features include:

• Built-in lens protection (shutters)
• Enhanced diagnostic capabilities
• Retrofits to Uniformity and Balance Machines

As part of the Micro-Tech^TM family of control and software products, the new TrueView^TM laser sensor from Micro-Poise^® has the largest measurement area and field of view, faster scanning rates, and higher resolution than similar sensors on the market.

1. Can the Micro-Poise geometry system measure the full sidewall of a tire?

    Yes, the Micro-Poise Geometry Inspection System (TGIS FS) offers flexible measurement capabilities. In its mono-track configuration, the system can measure a single point on the tire sidewall, which is ideal for targeted inspections. In contrast, the full-track configuration enables comprehensive measurement across the entire sidewall surface—from bead to bead, covering the full 360-degree circumference of the tire.

2. Is the geometry system compatible with other manufacturers' machines?

    Yes, it can be integrated with other manufacturer’s equipment.  Please contact us.

3. Can DLR licensed software filter out sidewall decorations and lettering?

    Yes, it includes filtering capabilities for such features. If you require specific configuration support or want to optimize these filters for your production environment, please contact Micro-Poise technical support.

4. Can the geometry system detect missing letters or symbols on tire sidewalls?

    Not currently. While Micro-Poise geometry systems capture detailed surface topography of the tire sidewall, they do not yet support Optical Character Recognition (OCR). This means that although the system can map the physical contours of the sidewall, including areas where lettering or symbols are present, it cannot currently identify or flag missing characters or symbols.
OCR functionality is a potential future enhancement and may be considered in upcoming product development roadmaps. For more information, please contact us.
