Splice Monitor Measurement System

The Splice Monitor is a special-purpose measurement system for monitoring the dimensions of overlapping splices on fabric calender lines used in tire component preparation operations.  Many lines 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 too heavy and result in excessive radial force variation.  Splices that are too small can result in splice separations when the material is applied on the tire building drum.  The Splice Monitor measures 100% of all splices via right, left, and center channels to assure compliance with splice specifications, and will alarm when any splices exceed 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.
