As the demand for quieter, high-performance tires increases, especially with the rise of electric vehicles, tire manufacturers face new challenges. Sorama’s innovative noise-visualization technology offers effective solutions to help manufacturers meet these demands and enhance user satisfaction.
Sorama’s CAM64 and CAM1K acoustic cameras offer an innovative solution for tire manufacturers, providing precise measurements and visualizations of tire vibrations.
Our advanced acoustic imaging technology helps developers to design tires that deliver quieter, smoother, and longer-lasting performance, meeting the evolving needs of modern vehicles.
Tire vibrations play a crucial role in driving comfort and safety. In traditional combustion vehicles, engine noise often masks the sounds created by tires. However, in electric vehicles, tire noise becomes more noticeable and can significantly impact the driving experience.
Mid- and high- frequency vibrations contribute to increased road noise, while lower-frequency vibrations affect grip, handling, and even wear. Understanding these vibrations is essential for manufacturers aiming to produce tires that offer both comfort and safety.
Sorama’s CAM64 and CAM1K acoustic cameras provide an easy, non-intrusive way to analyze tire vibrations.
Using sound recordings to create visual representations, our technology shows how tires move and vibrate, helping engineers understand both the shape and frequency of these vibrations. This real-time data is essential for designing quieter tires, especially for electric vehicles.
1. Non-contact measurement: Our acoustic cameras create temporary and spatially high-resolution visualizations of tire dynamics without physically touching the tire, preserving its integrity throughout the testing process.
2. Accurate visualization: Sorama’s technology precisely pinpoints the exact location and intensity of vibrations, providing detailed data for optimizing tire design.
3. Comprehensive surface measurement: The CAM1K can capture data from the entire tire surface in a single measurement, enabling efficient analysis of large areas at once.
4. Real-time analysis: The CAM64 and CAM1K allow manufacturers to monitor and measure tire vibrations during real-world simulations, identifying noise issues and performance flaws early in the design process.
5. Detailed air pressure and particle velocity mapping: Our cameras reveal how sound and vibrations travel within the tire, including how air pressure and particle velocity fluctuate in the time-domain. This near-field measurement provides crucial insights into the tire dynamics, which allows for designing quieter, more efficient tires.
As electric vehicles become more prevalent, the need for quieter tires will only grow. Sorama’s CAM64 and CAM1K acoustic cameras are helping tire manufacturers adapt to these changes by providing the precise data necessary for silent tire design.
Integrating advanced acoustic imaging technology into testing and development processes allows manufacturers to produce high-performance tires that not only reduce noise but also offer superior handling and durability.
Sorama’s acoustic cameras provide tire manufacturers with the insights needed to optimize tire design. By visualizing vibrational modes and frequencies, our technology helps manufacturers to reduce noise, improve performance and increase durability.
With the near field acoustic holography Sorama’s cameras visualize vibration patterns in real-time, allowing tire manufacturers to make continuous improvements to tire designs, resulting in quieter, more efficient tires that improve the overall driving experience.
Sorama’s CAMiV64 acoustic camera can further improve tire manufacturing by addressing compressed air leaks within the facility.
Compressed air leaks can significantly impact manufacturing efficiency and safety. They often result from worn-out seals, damaged pipes, or valves, causing increased energy consumption, decreased productivity, and potential safety hazards.
Compressed air leaks:
Traditional methods like sniffers and leak sprays have limitations, such as being time-consuming or less effective in noisy environments. Sorama’s acoustic imaging cameras offer a more reliable solution by detecting the sound of escaping air and converting it into visual images.
By integrating Sorama’s acoustic technology, tire manufacturers can optimize their production processes, ensuring efficiency, safety, and high-quality products.
The advantages include:
With no less than 1024 microphones and an integrated HD video camera, the CAM1K is a powerfull acoustic measuring device. The surface of 64×64 cm makes the CAM1K perfect for measuring larger areas.
Our acoustical experts are available on a consultancy basis. Using our own devices, we perform full sound analysis and generate immediate visualized data of the sound source and its behavior.
The Sorama Acoustic Design Cycle is an iterative cycle that relies on gaining insight into the problem and translating this to proper solutions, instead of the traditional trial-and-error method.
Our team is happy to discuss your situation and explain the benefits for your solution.
