Automotive quality solutions: safe inspection decisions
To produce radial truck, bus, and passenger car tires, non-destructive material testing with the help of digital radioscopy has become an indispensable tool. Whether directly integrated into the production process or for product development: Industrial X-ray inspection systems support the operator during quality assurance or perform the final evaluation of the X-ray image fully automated.

Finding tire anomalies with the market leader
With more than 375 units sold worldwide and a reliable uptime of more than 95%, Comet Yxlon’s MTIS is the gold standard for 24/7 inline quality assessment of radial tires. The MTIS system reliably identifies defects and irregularities such as

  • Inaccurate positioning of structural steel components
  • Defects of the components, i.e., loose wires or dog ears
  • Separated cords or irregular cord spacing in the sidewall
  • Inclusions of foreign material or defects in the rubber compound
  • Defects in the bead core areas
  • Irregular cut belt edges
  • Asymmetrical tire structure in the tread area

Line detector and 4-spindle manipulator for the highest accuracy

The horseshoe-shaped Comet Yxlon UScan3 line detector delivers leading image quality with the highest contrast at production speeds with 16-bit dynamic resolution. The MTIS tire manipulator consists of four synchronously driven spindles and a linear axis system with servo motors. Through the fast and safe rotation of the tires without slipping or deformation, the system guarantees accuracy and easy reproducibility of inspection results - the basis for gathering high-quality statistical data.
