AlphaScan Elite Inspection of Automotive Tires and Wheels

AlphaScan Elite captures wheel, tire tread and metal ring details before the data is reviewed as a high-resolution 3D model in inspection software.

Video Overview

The video opens with exterior shots of on-vehicle automotive wheels outdoors, followed by close-up indoor footage of aftermarket K2 brand wheels. A technician holds the AlphaScan Elite handheld 3D scanner, which projects blue scanning light, to capture data from metal ring flanged workpieces, aftermarket wheels, and on-vehicle tires and surrounding wheel arch body panels, with close-up shots of blue grid scan light covering tire and wheel surfaces. Footage cuts to the AlphaScan Base 2025 software interface, showing zoom, pan, and rotation operations for the high-detail tire and wheel 3D model, with visible Michelin branding on the digital tire model and status displays for grid count, marker point count, and device temperature.

This workflow includes both benchtop scanning of individual components and on-vehicle scanning of assembled automotive parts. High-detail 3D models are manipulated via software to inspect fine geometric features of tires and wheels.
