TireScan CrossDrive System

Fully integrated, multipurpose tire footprint pressure measurement system.

Multipurpose Tire Footprint Pressure Measurement

The TireScan™ CrossDrive system is a fully integrated solution capable of measuring large tire footprints at a high resolution. 250K sensing elements over a 508 mm x 508 mm (20 in. x 20 in.) area allows the system to measure footprints across a diverse tire portfolio (car to truck tires). The ruggedized housing is designed to handle harsh environments, allowing the system to collect footprint pressure data while the tire is experiencing shear forces from acceleration, deceleration, toe, and camber. The intuitive, application-specific graphing and image analysis software enables quantitative and qualitative analysis of the tire footprint.

Key Features:

• Dynamic recording and playback
• Graphing and data analysis capabilities
• Quick and easy generation of custom reports
• Durable & resuable sensors
• Thin & incompressible - dimensional stability is key for repeatable measurements
• Fast testing procedure. No ink, paper, or scanning

Key Applications Include:

• Tire footprint pressure pattern evaluation
• Analyze various tire compounds and tread designs
• Assess suspension and camber
• Sipe and tread block design and testing
• Tire mold adjustment
• Race vehicle "set-up"
• Manufacturing quality assurance
• Competitive benchmarking
• Road surface predictive wear studies

High Speed TireScan

Capture & Analyze Tire Behavior at Speeds Up to 265 km/h (165 mph).

Capture & Analyze Tire Behavior at High Speeds

Tekscan’s High Speed TireScan™ system captures the impact of speed, motion, and inertial forces on a tire at speeds up to 265 km/h (165 mph). The robust array of pressure sensing elements scans at 20 kHz as the tire rolls across it. The software displays the tire shape and pressure distribution while in motion. High Speed TireScan comes in three configurations: Tethered, Datalogger, and Remote VersaTek™.

Key Features:

• Fast testing procedure
• Dynamic recording and playback
• Capture tire footprint at speeds up to 265 km/h (165 mph)
• Graphing and data analysis capabilities
• Quickly generate custom reports
• Durable & reusable sensors

Key Applications:

• Evaluate tire performance at high speeds
• Identify failure modes
• Measure tire distortion from inertial forces
• Evaluate cornering performance
