X-Ray Tire Defect Detection AI | Tire Radiography

Radiography Capabilities

Deep Internal Structural Inspection

Engineered for passenger, commercial truck, and OTR tire manufacturers to eliminate catastrophic field failures and blowout risks.

🔬

Steel Belt Cord Spacing AI

Automated sub-pixel radiography algorithms calculate cord-to-cord pitch across all breaker plies, flagging crossed cords, wavy wires, and belt stepping flaws.

🛡️

Ply Turn-up & Bead Verification

Inspects ply turn-up height, bead bundle concentricity, apex seating, and rubber-to-metal bonding voids that cannot be identified from outer visual inspection.

💥

Foreign Inclusions & Porosities

Detects density anomalies such as trapped air bubbles, curing blisters, unvulcanized compound pockets, and foreign metallic debris embedded in the carcass.

⚡

Instant Pneumatic Sorter Trip

Direct PLC integration (Profinet / Ethernet/IP) triggers automated conveyor kickers and sorting arms to divert flawed tires in less than 15ms.

📊

360° Radiographic Heatmaps

Generates high-contrast panoramic structural radiographs with automated anomaly bounding boxes, defect classification tags, and metrology callouts.

💾

Permanent Digital Audit Trail

Archives lossless X-ray radiographs with tire barcode serial numbers, curing press ID, and timestamp into enterprise MES for complete traceability.

System Architecture

Automated 4-Step X-Ray Inspection Cycle

Fully autonomous in-line inspection cell requiring zero manual operator intervention.

Step 01

In-feed & Mount

Conveyor delivers cured tire into radiation-shielded chamber; pneumatic spindle clamps and centers tire.

Step 02

Radiography Scan

X-ray tube emits controlled beam while digital flat panel detector captures 360-degree high-energy transmission data.

Step 03

Neural Defect Engine

On-premises TensorRT deep learning models segment steel belts, cords, and bead bundles to identify structural anomalies.

Step 04

Sorting & MES Log

Certified tires proceed to final shipping line; defective tires are diverted to quarantine with full radiographic report.
