High Point Marking on finished tires

Definition of Task

Vehicle tires on rims are balanced on the conveyor belt and are marked on both sides with 1 to 2 high-to mark the mounting position of the balance weights
In the case of steel rims, the weights are mounted at the height of the high-points; in the case of aluminum rims, the balance weights are glued within the rims base

Replacement of the obsolete dabbing technology (contact marker) by non-contact ST marking
The integration of the REA JET spray mark systems in existing equipment is possible without any problems
Passing the spray mark head in a position of optimal distance to the tire surface
Using different colors in order to differentiate between the balance weights
Improving the cleanness of the equipment and ensuring shorter cleaning times because of the precise application of paint by using the REA JET spray mark technology

In using the non-contact marking, the spray heads are not getting dirty which ensures the reliable marking of the high-points
Clean dot quality by constant application of the material
Precise flow of the painting material by marking the tires bottom-up (bottom marking)
Cost savings by using the cheaper REA spray mark paints
Optimized process by reduction of the equipment failure (less customer complaints for unmarked tires)
Due to the non-contact marking, the marking through surface irregularities and indentations on the surface of the tire is possible without any problems
