SONAR has created many brilliant sales records, e.g. 37000 tires in 1996, a million in 2006 and 1.1 million in 2010.

SONAR continues beyond all expectations to innovate, all if possible, at a “sonic” speed. SONAR leads the tire market with its excellent achievements and yet it is never satisfied with this success.

SONAR SX-9 is designed to meet safety, handling and comfort demands of SUV vehicles. Four broad circumferential groove with 35% void ratio enhances drainage efficiency and maneuverability on wet road condition.

Broad circumferential groove drains water easily, and prevents slipping. 3-Dimension arc groove increases stiffness between blocks, and also disturbs air flow in grooves.

Applying “groove in groove” concept on circumferential grooves disperses stress on tire surface, and prevents irregular wear and noise produced by the friction between air flow and groove wall.

The INTACT system series from Steinbichler Optotechnik has been renowned for many years for its inno-vative, leading technology designed for the non-destructive testing of tires. With the patented shearogra-phy process, material deformations in the micron range can be reliably detected to ensure highly precise quality control (for new tires as well as for carcasses before retreading). This supports the best possible and economically efficient utilization of resources. Especially due to the fact that INTACT can reliably iden-tify typical defects in tires, the systems provide a very high level of safety. This offers considerable poten-tial for savings particularly to the retreading sector, as unusable carcasses can be sorted out and rejected already before they are further processed.

New innovative products The shearography tire inspection system STEINBICHLER INTACT 30 is developed especially for the test-ing of passenger car, light truck and medium truck tires and carcasses in new tire manufacturing and re-treading plants with the highest production output.

The shearography tire inspection system STEINBICHLER INTACT 80, for the quality control of passenger car, light truck and medium truck carcasses, is especially designed for new tire production plants.
