Tire building ENSURING HIGH TIRE QUALITY Ensure the high quality of your tires and the smoothest of processes in tire building. To make sure these critical process steps are accomplished optimally we provide you with sensors you can use to perfectly equip your tire building machine. For example, to exactly position your sliders, our various solutions offer you a number of options. At the same time you enhance process security, preventing downtimes and ensuring continuous material provision and consistently high process speed so that each tire blank is efficiently and correctly constructed.

Solutions for the tire building machine Control the process Monitor material feed Position the slider exactly Ensure controlled movements Guarantee material availability Always keep an eye on operational status

CONTROL THE PROCESS With BOD photoelectric distance sensors MONITOR MATERIAL FEED With BSI inclination sensors POSITION THE SLIDER EXACTLY With BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors ENSURE CONTROLLED MOVEMENTS With BMF magnetic field sensors GUARANTEE MATERIAL AVAILABILITY With BUS ultrasonic sensors ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON OPERATIONAL STATUS With the BNI SmartLight stack lights Our photoelectric distance sensors monitor the liner sag to ensure correct material feed speed. By monitoring the process of tire building you are able to intervene in a timely fashion when problems arise. The...

PRECISION FOR EVERY SINGLE STEP To ensure that the critical process of vulcanization of the green tire in the curing press runs properly, Balluff offers you optimal solutions for every single step. Each of these solutions contributes its part to process reliability. You get the highest precision in forming the green tire under high pressure and at high temperatures, whether you use our ultrasonic sensors for detecting the tires in the press, monitoring the pressure of the pneumatic lines using our pressure sensors, or ensuring controlled closing of the presses using our magnetostrictive...

Solutions for the curing press Monitoring vulcanization pressure Simplify connections and start lowering costs Tire detection for process reliability Detect vulcanization progress at a glance Monitor position of the gripper arms Reliable closing movement

MONITORING VULCANIZATION PRESSURE With BSP pressure sensors SIMPLIFY CONNECTIONS AND START LOWERING COSTS With BNI IO-Link valve interfaces TIRE DETECTION FOR PROCESS RELIABILITY With BUS ultrasonic sensors DETECT VULCANIZATION PROGRESS AT A GLANCE With BNI SmartLight stack lights MONITOR POSITION OF THE GRIPPER ARMS With BMP magnetic field positioning systems RELIABLE CLOSING MOVEMENT With BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors Pressure sensors from Balluff ensure reliable pressure monitoring during vulcanization and thereby contribute to process reliability. Our solutions can be...

Intralogistics and process monitoring TRACEABILITY GUARANTEED We use our identification solutions to accompany you reliably through the entire process chain: from delivery of the raw materials to production of the semi-finished products to tire manufacturing and beyond. Each tire can be uniquely identified and every process step traced. This uninterrupted documentation supports a reliable process and helps you meet the requirements for traceability. Our performance range includes industrial image processing, using SmartCameras, vision sensors and barcode readers. You also have access to...
