<p>A method and apparatus for inspecting a pneumatic tire casing (100) is described. The inspection method includes the steps of aligning a source (60) and a detector (70) external of the casing (100), the source (60) angularly transmitting a beam across the shoulder region of the tire and angularly impinging a portion of the casing; rotating the casing about its axis of rotation; receiving the beam image of the shoulder region of the casing; and observing any separation or lifting of the breaker edge of the casing relative to the rest of the breaker as displayed onto a screen. The preferred apparatus includes a traversable assembly (50) which is pivotally and linearly movable, an X-ray source (60) and a detector (70) linearly spaced along the beam axis of the source (60) and attached to the assembly (50), and a means for energizing the source. <IMAGE></p> |
