TU Tire Uniformity

What about Tire Uniformity?

The term "uniformity" was established in the tire industry and it designates always the uniformity of the forces, which the tire exerts on the road. TU - measurement is thus a measurement of the uniformity of the forces or in other words "force variation measurement".

Since middle of the 90's SEICHTER GmbH is occupied  with the investigation of the tire uniformity regarding so-called force variations. The technological entrance into the uniformity - measuring technique began with the development of the machine HTU L50. This common project with the mechanical engineering company Hasbach used the technical infrastructure of the RFP-5 Measuring System for tire geometry (TG). This system was supplemented by digital measuring amplifiers with 21 bits dissolution and by the Lightbus interface of Beckhoff.  

This measuring technique permits some fundamental improvements to that already for many decades admitted conventional uniformity technology. Since 2005 Seichter GmbH entered the market with it's own uniformity machines for tires (T-I-C) and tire wheel assemblies (W-I-C).

Which analyses of the tire uniformity  are available?

The following characteristics of the tire are examined for the evaluation of the quality:
