The future of prototype tire production: Introducing the FlexCutter Tyre
In the world of tire prototyping, precision, speed and efficiency are essential for success. Traditional methods of grooving prototype tire profiles rely on skilled craftmanship, a process that is both time-consuming and labor-intensive . With the introduction of ZennaLaser’s FlexCutter Tyre, we are revolutionizing the way prototype tires are made, offering a faster, and more accurate solution for the industry.
Revolutionizing the production of prototype tires
Typically, hand engraving a set of four tires with prototype profile, takes 3 to 5 days by a specialist, a slow and error-prone process. Now, imagine a system where a laser performs all the engraving fully automated in a fraction of the time, every single groove with an accuracy of a tenth of a millimeter in depth. The FlexCutter Tyre is Zenna’s advanced, precise, and agile laser machine, specifically developed to carve and engrave both the tread and sidewall of prototype tires. With the FlexCutter Tyre, the entire process takes just 5 to 7 hours, significantly reducing the time required to produce a tire profile. Once the desired patterns are created using our powerful FeatherCAD software, or imported as a .dxf file, they are loaded into the laser system, and the machine is ready to begin.
Key advantages of the FlexCutter Tyre:
- Speed and efficiency – Accelerating prototype production
- Quality – Precision and consistency across the entire 360-degree tire surface
- Cost efficiency – Reducing failure rates and minimizing material waste
- Safety – Minimizing the risk of injuries associated with traditional grooving tools
