Laser Profilometry
Increasing financial pressures to reduce development cycles and the ability to quickly generate data for modeling and evaluation purposes is invaluable. Smithers utilizes a laser triangulation system that generates precise wear measurements and input for making tire life predictions.
Utilized as a standalone test or as part of a combination of tests using the Smithers tread wear machine it delivers fast and accurate non-destructive measurement of wear patterns and is ideal for generating data used in before-and-after tread wear comparisons.
