X-Ray Tyre Inspection AI by YAFE
NDT AI for X-ray tyre and tire inspection — belt separation detection, internal defect detection, and air pocket identification with real-time visual marking.
The Requirement
Internal defects inside tyres and tires cannot be seen through normal inspection methods. Manual review of X-ray images is slow and depends heavily on operator skill — leading to missed defects and inconsistent judgments during high-volume production. A reliable NDT AI solution was needed to automate X-ray tyre inspection.
What YAFE Delivered
An AI system that automatically analyses every tyre and tire X-ray image, performs belt separation detection and internal defect detection, marks the exact location visually, and classifies the defect type. This NDT AI approach enables instant decisions without relying on operator interpretation.
Customer Benefits
- Consistent defect detection regardless of operator skill
- Faster inspection with no manual review bottleneck
- Reduced field failures and warranty claims
- Complete traceability for every tyre and tire inspected
- Higher confidence in outgoing product quality
Frequently Asked Questions
What is X-ray tyre inspection AI?
X-ray tyre inspection AI (also called X-ray tire inspection AI) uses artificial intelligence to automatically analyze X-ray images of tyres and tires for internal defects. Instead of relying on a human operator to review each image, the AI processes every X-ray in real time, detects anomalies, and marks the exact location of any defect found. This makes inspection faster, more consistent, and independent of operator skill.
What is belt separation detection?
Belt separation detection identifies when the steel belt layers inside a tyre or tire have begun to separate from the surrounding rubber. Belt separation is a serious structural defect that can cause tyre failure at high speed. YAFE belt separation detection uses AI trained on thousands of X-ray images to identify even early-stage separation that would be difficult for a human reviewer to spot consistently.
What other internal defects can the system detect?
Beyond belt separation detection, YAFE X-ray tyre inspection AI detects air pockets trapped between layers, foreign object inclusions, construction anomalies such as uneven belt placement, and other internal defects that are invisible to external visual inspection. The system classifies each defect type and marks its location on the X-ray image for operator review.
What is NDT AI for tyre inspection?
NDT AI (Non-Destructive Testing AI) applies artificial intelligence to inspection methods that examine a product without damaging it. For tyre and tire inspection, NDT AI means using X-ray imaging combined with AI analysis to check the internal structure of every tyre without cutting it open or destroying it. YAFE NDT AI delivers consistent results at production speed.
How does AI improve on manual X-ray review?
Manual X-ray review depends heavily on the skill and attention of the operator. Fatigue, lighting, and experience level all affect the quality of manual inspection. YAFE X-ray tyre inspection AI applies the same trained model to every image, every time, without fatigue or variation. This eliminates the inconsistency of manual review and ensures that no defective tyre or tire passes undetected.
Can the system integrate with existing X-ray equipment?
Yes. YAFE X-ray tyre inspection AI is designed to work with standard industrial X-ray systems. The AI software connects to your existing X-ray machine and processes images as they are captured. In most cases, no new X-ray hardware is required. Our engineers will assess your current setup and configure the AI for your specific tyre and tire types.
