    摘要: A tire uniformity tester having: a spindle capable of rotating while holding a tire; a drum; a pressing mechanism that rotatably supports the drum and makes it possible to press a tire attached to the spindle into the drum through the relative movement of the drum and spindle; a uniformity measurement unit for measuring the uniformity of the tire during forward rotation and reverse rotation; and a control device. The control device controls the driving of the rotation of the spindle and the relative positions of the spindle and drum so that when the rotation direction of the spindle is reversed, the spindle and drum are separated from each other such that the spindle rotation speed reaches zero in a state in which the outer peripheral surface of the drum and the tire tread surface are not in contact with each other.

    摘要: Data representing a ground contact time of a tire is transmitted from a tire side device, and received by a vehicle side device to calculate the ground contact time of the tire, to thereby calculate a ground contact length of the tire at that time. In a situation where a tire air pressure may change such as a tire exchange, the ground contact length at that time is set as a reference ground contact length, and a determination reference value is set on the basis of the reference ground contact length. As a result, the relative determination reference value corresponding to the tire type can be set, and a variation of the reduction rate of the tire air pressure when it is determined that the tire air pressure is reduced can be reduced. As a result, the reduction in the tire air pressure can be detected with high precision regardless of the tire type.

    摘要: A measurement system scans the given surface of a tire component (e.g., a brush-finished tread or buffed tire casing) to electronically measure data points corresponding to vertical and horizontal coordinates along the given surface. Associated computer processors electronically calculate the slope at a plurality of different locations by determining the degree of steepness (e.g., rise over run, angle or grade) between selected ones of the first and second coordinates and electronically comparing at least one slope-based parameter to one or more predetermined levels to determine a characterization defining one or more of surface adhesion fitness, finishing brush wear level and brush bristle placement location. Slope may be determined between every adjacent pair of data points or between selected data points (e.g., identified local maximum and minimum). The at least one-slope based parameter compared to the predetermined levels may correspond to the slopes themselves or to a calculated average slope value.
