Tire stress test chamber

REQUIREMENTS :  During F1 races drivers sumbit cars to curve angles at a crazy speed. In these situations tyres need to grip to asphalt in the most efficient way possible.

This efficiency decreases by the consumption of the tyres during the race. To calculate this wear andprevent it, Bridgestone needed a solid automation machine to perform stress test on its F1 tyres.

SOLUTION : FDM answered by engineering and developing a CUSTOM machine with a motion chamber equipped with robotic arms grabbing the tyre samples.

Below the other functions:

- Cyclical pressure/stretching of different multi-tyre samples
- Possibility to set Humidity/Temperature inside the motion chamber
- Count of the cycles and calculation of the strain registered on every cycle
- Alarm at the tyre break
- Registration of data during all the stress tests and production of a complete log
