Ply Splice Monitoring for Overlapping Fabric Splices
Many fabric calendar lines used in tire component preparation operations use automated machinery to shear the fabric, overlap the fabric strips, and splice them into continuous rolls. Small changes in the shearing and splicing machinery can result in splices that are either too heavy and result in excessive radial force variation, or too small and result in splice separations when the material is applied onto the tire building drum. The Splice Monitor is a special purpose measurement system that accurately monitors the dimensions of the overlapping splices on these fabric calendar lines. The Splice Monitor measures 100% of all splices at two or three locations across the product to assure compliance with splice specifications and will signal an alarm when any splices do not conform to the allowable limits.
The Splice Monitor Software Suite is complete with data archiving and reporting tools. The Splice Monitor measurement system can be easily networked to factory IT systems.
