LASER TECHNOLOGY TRANSFORMS TYRE INDUSTRY

They say laser sharp for a reason! Laser technology has been widely known to transform manufacturing processes that include quality checks and inspections. In the tyre industry, the application of laser extends to enhancing efficiency, accuracy and quality compliance that has superseded all requirements. Imagine the flexibility as a result of precise cutting for optimal size and intricate design while at the same time, marking tyres with essential information like codes for informed buying. This is known to have introduced traceability in the supply chain, from manufacturer to the aftermarket. 4JET takes pride in pioneering laser systems that redefine industrial manufacturing standards for the tyre industry. According to Stefan Irrgang, responsible for sales of capital goods laser-based systems for surface treatment, it is time the industry says goodbye to costly post-production tyre work and the frustration of unexpected losses. The practice of discovering issues late in the value chain are a thing of the past.

High-quality production

Laser cleaning ensures mould and tyre surfaces are devoid of contaminants, crucial for high-quality production. Additionally, lasers are deployed to for Total Quality Management (TQM). It enables tyre inspection for defects, enhancing safety and reducing the expensive and cumbersome cost to the company by way of recalls. Safety is a big consideration here. This technology supports tyre manufacturers in delivering safer, more durable products while helping them to advance their goals of sustainable practices spanning a global footprint.
