Wheel Hub Inner Diameter Inspection-Suzhou Oi-Smart Technology Co., LTD

Rubber& Tire

Tires are the only parts of a vehicle that come into contact with the ground, affecting the vehicle's handling, comfort, and safety. OiSmart has deeply cultivated the tire manufacturing field, integrating 3D vision inspection technology closely with tire production processes. Specifically designed for various tire production stages such as extrusion, bead wire, cutting, molding, and vulcanization, they have independently developed a series of vision inspection solutions. With a profound understanding of tire production processes, customer focal points, and years of onsite project experience, OiSmart has developed a series of standard equipment using their proprietary 3D sensors and 3D vision software platform as the core. This equipment can be rapidly deployed and used by companies, while also offering highly flexible customized solutions based on the company's budget and production realities. This comprehensively meets various tire inspection needs, helping tire manufacturing enterprises reduce production costs, enhance automation levels, and optimize quality management.

Industury Challenges and Needs

The hub's center hole is the connection point between the hub and the axle, where the processing diameter and roundness directly affect whether the wheel's geometric center can align with the hub's geometric center, playing a crucial role in the vehicle's stability and safety. In hub production, the small and deep nature of the center hole, along with limited space and the tendency for residues like coolant and metal shavings to remain after CNC machining, presents significant challenges for precise measurement. Current inspection solutions struggle to efficiently and accurately measure these critical dimensions.

Solution

Based on the principle of laser triangulation measurement, a in-house developed high-speed 3D camera, combined with a line laser, enables fast, non-destructive, high-precision, and comprehensive online inspection of the hub's center hole diameter and width. This approach effectively monitors the actual machining of the hub's center hole by the cutting tools in the machining center during production, significantly improving inspection efficiency while greatly reducing manual inspection costs.
