• Building products
• Tire

Applications

• On-Line Extrusion Profiling
• Off-Line Profile Inspection
• Tire Identification
• Product Guiding
• Tire Manufacturing and Testing

Bytewise manufacture the following products:

Bead-to-Bead Profile Measurement System: This is a special application using multiple Bytewise Sheet-of-Light Sensors to capture the complete cross-sectional profile of an inflated tire in a static measurement cycle.

Circumferential Tread Wear Imaging System ("CTWIST"): A complete measurement system for characterizing tread wear in passenger and truck tires.

Feature Tracker: The Feature Tracker is a special application of the Bytewise Profile Sensor used to sense and track geometrical features on a complex profile and continuously output the position signal to an automatic guiding system.

Green Tire Uniformity Monitor: This system utilizes Bytewise Very High Speed (2000 Hz) Profile Sensors to rotationally scan the green tire while it is still mounted on the tire assembly drum, and inspect the green tire for non-uniform geometry.

Off-line Profilometer: An instrument that measures the top and bottom profiles of tire tread and sidewall extrusions. The Profilometer is used in die shops to verify the profile and approve the die for production. The Profilometer is also used on the shop floor at the extruder as a periodic quality check for the extruded profile.

On-Line Profilometer ("OLP"): This instrument utilizes Bytewise Profile Sensors to measure the top and bottom profile of the moving extrusion. The On-line Profilometer takes a profile scan, matches it to a design template, then displays an optical comparator screen along with key measurement values

Profilometer-SL: This system combines the powerful and proven Bytewise Profile Viewer software with the Bytewise Sheet-of-Light ("SL") sensor technology, to offer a lower-cost extrusion profile measurement system.

Profile 360™: Used as an on-line profile measurement system that utilizes Bytewise Profile Sensors to scan the complete outside shape of any continuously moving profile. Profile 360 measurement systems are available for use with aluminum, plastic or rubber.

Splice Monitor: This is a special-purpose measurement system for monitoring the dimensions of overlapping splices on fabric calender lines used in tire component preparation operations.

Tire Identification System: This system utilizes Bytewise Very-High Speed (2000 Hz) Profile Sensors to rotationally scan the sidewall of a tire and identify the tire.
