Sneak preview of TIRE Technology Expo 2019:
Laser mold cleaning system STMCS in action – new product video!
Cleaning is a continuous issue in tire industry. In the meantime, the cleaning applications have grown and cover different applications. Today, lasers are used to clean tire molds in the classic way as well as to clean tires themselves.
Applications
The more recent application – cleaning of tires – serves a growing market of tire industry. More and more often tire manufacturers use the option to refine their standard tires from stock in a process downstream of vulcanization. Here for example foam for acoustic insulation or additional compounds that serve to seal a hole in the case of penetration by a foreign body from the outside are brought in.
The application presumes that such material sticks well to the tire. But adhesion to the surface within the tire is usually not sufficient due to contamination by process additives. By means of fully automated laser systems 4JET offers efficient laser cleaning without environmental impact. 4JET laser cleaning systems have already proven in many cases in industrial application.
Typically, tire molds have already been cleaned by means of 4JET laser technology for decades. Today, the mold cleaning by laser provides highest efficiency referring to quality as well as to cost.
High Tech
4JET laser technology enables to realize industrially and economically high tech solutions related to the product tire. Especially beneficial in industrial application are:
- Cleaning without additional cleaning media
For laser cleaning electrical power is consumed. It is needed to generate laser radiation. Other cleaning media on a chemical basis or grit are eliminated during the cleaning process. - Sensitive cleaning of different surfaces
The cleaning proceeds contact-free. Hence, laser cleaning is free of mechanical processes. Wearing of tire molds for example is reduced to a minimum by laser cleaning. - Fully automated cleaning
By the high degree of automation the best repeatability of cleaning results can be ensured. Deviations of cleaning quality are a thing of the past. - Low cost per cleaning process
By resigning manual processes in cleaning, the cleaning costs can be calculated easily and remain constantly low. - Eco-friendly cleaning
Chemical processes and risks caused by using such media are eliminated in the company.
The latest product video of laser mold cleaning by the STMCS 13xxx series is live now. Use this opportunity to catch up even before TIRE Technology Expo 2019.
