RL Automotive has designed, developed and built a range of portable and drive-over tyre wear diagnostic equipment using laser and Bluetooth technology. Tread depth and tyre wear are measured by passing a laser across the face of the tyre and pressure by means of a USB pressure probe.
For workshops the equipment allows them to collect and upload tread and pressure data easily, quickly and efficiently. The proprietary software is also a powerful marketing tool with many up-selling opportunities. Instead of the lengthy process of alignment in order to check if an alignment is necessary, a “free” check can be offered using our TAC-Scan machine. This will take about 1 minute to complete with a further minute to produce and print the ‘Tyre Wear and Alignment Analysis’ to show the customer, highlighting the areas of tyre wear that may cause concern.
