Tire Studding Visual Guidance for Stud Insertion

I. Project Background

In automotive tire manufacturing, stud insertion is a vital step for maintaining structural integrity and performance. Traditional manual methods often result in low efficiency and inconsistent precision. To address these challenges, manufacturers are adopting automated solutions.

The SinceVision 3D laser profile measurement instrument provides high precision and high-speed intelligent recognition. As a reliable Laser Profiler for Measurement, it enables automated visual guidance for the stud insertion process. This technology ensures consistency and supports the transition toward efficient, intelligent tire production.

II. Inspection Requirements

• Workpiece: 13 to 21 inch automotive tires

• Stud Height: 10 to 13 mm

• Minimum Stud Diameter: 2.1 mm

• Number of Studs: 80 to 200 per tire

• Tread Width: 109 to 276 mm

• Section Width: 157 to 320 mm

III. Visual Guidance and Positioning Solution for Studding Machine

Industrial automation requires precise positioning to improve production quality. This solution utilizes the wide field of view and high depth of field of the SinceVision SR5280. The 3d laser profiler for Tire Studding scans the tire surface with high accuracy to capture 3D shape data, which is then sent to an image processing system.

The system uses preset algorithms to calculate the exact coordinates and orientation for each stud. It considers the tread pattern and mechanical structure to optimize placement for maximum performance.

The automated equipment follows these paths to insert studs precisely. After insertion, the instrument scans the tire again to verify key quality metrics:

• Accuracy of stud position

• Insertion depth

• Angle of insertion

• Final fit and finish

If the system detects a quality issue, it triggers an alarm for corrective action. All generated data is stored to ensure reliable quality traceability and future process analysis.
