Tire Section Cutting Machine for PCR/LTR/TBR

The Tire Section Cutting Machine is designed for precise preparation of tire cross-sectional samples. Equipped with TMSI’s proprietary cutting wires, the machine supports single-pass dual-wire cutting, with the inner wire passing through the tire centerline.


Suitable for PCR, LTR, and TBR tires, the machine delivers high-quality cut surfaces and reliable cutting performance. It features safe operation, high efficiency, easy handling, low energy consumption, and low noise, making it an ideal solution for tire sectioning in inspection, analysis, and R&D applications.
