RimChecker for the measurement of rims

Here you find a new product description as pdf file.

We show RFP-5 RimChecker on the TireEXPO 2008 in Cologne!


If you informed yourself about the "RimChecker", please spend one minute time for our survey! Then we can help you purposefully.


The laser sensors LMU of the RFP-5 System are suitable also to examine the rim flanges regarding the lateral and radial runout. At the RFP-5 Positioning System a mirror system is installed in front of the laser sensor, which permits it to drive into the rim in order to examine the lateral contact surfaces for the tire bead regarding the lateral runout.

The lasersensor The runout curves

For each type of rim uniquely a Teach In of the measuring tracks is to be accomplished.

The system positions the laser measuring point with a repetition accuracy of 1/10 mm and 1/10 to the rim flanges. The measuring tracks given in the DIN 70020 part 5, section 3.6 are reached surely. For the measurement of the radial runout it is the center of the rim shoulder and for the lateral runout it is the center of the rim flange height. The tolerance values given in DIN 7817 (1.25 mm radial / lateral runout) are examined with a resolution of 1/100 mm..

Measurements at numbers of revolutions until far over 500 rpm are possible with a guaranteed repetition accuracy of typically 0.03mm / max. 0.05mm.
