In 2020, affected by the epidemic, it will bring severe challenges to the Chinese tire industry, which is undergoing transformation and upgrading. Survival and development will become the main theme of the industry.
The tire industry is accelerating structural adjustments, and technological transformation has become the key to the industry. Consumers in the tire market are increasingly demanding tire performance improvement and improvement. Tire companies have begun to increase their technical content and develop in the direction of new technologies such as smart, safe and comfortable tires. , This is also an inevitable way out.
In response to this challenge, IPG provides a new fiber laser cleaning technology that will help the automotive tire industry: improve quality, improve technology, increase production capacity, reduce costs, improve tire and body matching, and improve the overall performance of the vehicle.
There are more and more applications of laser cleaning in the tire industry, including tire mold laser cleaning, tire inner wall texturing laser cleaning and other new tire technologies and manufacturing. Laser cleaning participates in the process of new technologies.
New technology requirements for tires:
1. The noise reduction of tires tends to the comfort of silent tires.
2. Higher safety performance-the manufacturing process of anti-puncture and explosion-proof tire technology.
3. Auxiliary more advanced manufacturing process.
4. A more stable and high-speed online production line.
5. Higher integration.
For the technical requirements of the above new processes, the inner wall of the tire needs to be cleaned.
Cleaning needs to control the following key technical points:
1. The base material is not damaged-the manufacturer does quality control and evaluation.
2. Remove the oil on the inner surface of the tire. The main components of the oil are methylhydrosiloxane (5-15%) and water, with a cleanliness of 99.97%.
3. After cleaning, the friction coefficient of the inner surface will increase>35mN/m, and the surface tension will reach 38dyne/cm.
4. Considering production capacity requirements and increasing production capacity, reducing costs, the cleaning efficiency is more than 60cm/sec, and the most ideal is more than 90cm/sec.
5. Automated production line, uninterrupted and trouble-free operation.
6. The IPG laser matches the 2D galvanometer system, which can directly clean the range> 200mm, covering the X direction of the metal pressure-bearing layer, while meeting the large drop Y direction processing coverage of the curtain.
