MAY 2019 AFTERMARKET 45 www.aftermarketonline.net Sigmavision 3D tread depth measurement technology Sigmavision Ltd is an original equipment manufacturer with expertise in laser sensor and camera imaging technology. TreadReader tyre measurement products and technologies are supplied globally from the UK headquarters and through an international network of distributors. Sigmavision’s TreadReader product range includes a Hand Held scanner and three specifications of the TreadReader Drive Over ramp, for workshop applications and retail locations. The accurate tread depth readings reveal any badly worn or unevenly worn tyres, symptomatic of problems such as wheel misalignment or worn suspension. Colour coded 3D scans enable tyre replacement at the optimum time to maximise tyre safety and present revenue opportunities to the trade from increased tyre sales or service hours. TreadReader is suitable for wet or dirty tyres and is ideal for all tyre inspection applications in workshops, service centres, inspection lanes, and commercial vehicle yards and at the roadside. TreadReader products are integrated with eVHC and workshop systems, and Sigmavision’s TreadManager Service for improved management of tyre and alignment sales opportunities. TreadManager enables workshops to maintain customer data to predict tyre lifetime, and build trust with customers, by helping them make informed decisions about tyre replacement. sigmavision.com FORTIS 322 Tyre Changer The FORTIS 322 is a modern 24” tyre machine for run flat tyres.
