Robotic Runflat tyre fitting equipment introduced in India
Introduction of the latest robotic Runflat/Low profile tyre fitting equipment for the 1st time in India.
Press Release
For the first time in India Siremull Hirachand's Tyrestore in Greams Road, Chennai introduces the revolutionary Italian robotic tyre fitting equipment specially designed to prevent damage to the tyres and alloy wheels while fitment. This is a new-concept tyre changer and a groundbreaking innovation on the international scene. This equipment is recommended by Michelin and Bridgestone worldwide for the fitment of the new generation Tubeless, Runflat, Low/Ultra Low Profile, Hi Performance tyres and is customised to tyrestore's requiremlkck najkents to suit the Indian operating conditions.
Our customers and car enthusiasts in Tamilnadu, Pondicherry, Karnataka and Kerala can now enjoy the benefits of the latest technology in tyre servicing enjoy a safer drive, ensure that their new generation tyres and wheels are safely/professionally handled and are....... treated with respect!
The Technology: This tyre changer's unique feature is the exclusive robotic Robofit tool (MF patent) which enables the user, with no extra physical effort, to mount and demount any type of tyre without the aid of a bead removing lever. The Robofit tool consists of two different heads, one for demounting and the other for mounting, both made from high-strength plastic to ensure against wheel and tyre damage. Two levers provide simple roller positioning and simultaneous or independent breaking of the upper and lower beads. The breaking of the beads is very fast, effective and safe. An 8-movement joystick helps control the operations of the robotic tool arm.
The main advantages of the equipment being:
1. Preventing Tyre and Sidewall Damage: Bead breaking is dynamic (MF Patent) and guarantees perfect distribution of the force required for the operation around the entire bead circumference, thus ruling out all risk of tire bead/sidewall damage during demounting. The special shape of the high-strength plastic heads cuts bead stretch by up to 50% compared to a conventional tyre fitting tool. In traditional equipments the bead breaking process used to be vertical without any control over the intensity thus creating a possibility of bead/sidewall damage that is not visible.
2. Preventing damage to the wheels: The high-strength plastic used in the heads for mounting and demounting prevent damage to the alloy wheels compared to the traditional tyre fitting equipment in which a metal lever is used, which scratches/damages the alloy wheels and results in damage to the wheels.
Tyrestore is also "future ready" for our customers needs as this equipment can be used to fit tyres upto 26" wheels/tyres. (The current standard fitment for most of the BMW cars in India are only 20" and Rolls Royce at 21" !)

Tata Nano To Get New Features + Minor Facelift
Tata Motors is in the process of upgrading the world's cheapest car Nano in the coming few months. Acting on the feedback from the market, the car will get small but significant upgrades with in the next six months. The Nano will get a higher rev limit at 6000 rpm compared to the conservative 5000 rpm earlier. The higher rev limit will improve performance especially in the first two gears allowing greater pull from the engine, important when going up an incline with full load, but the top speed will remain the same at 105 kph.
Other changes include a newly modified outside rear view mirror which is less cumbersome owing to the movement of the mirror with in the casing negating the need for moving the whole assembly while adjusting. The newer design will also make it possible to introduce electric adjustment in the future if Tata Motors wants to. The doors will also have check straps to limit the door opening. The most significant upgrade in the coming months will be the tailgate which can be opened improving the utility. The present sealed glass unit is inconvenient especially when there are passengers sitting on the rear seat.
The limited capacity is also a blessing in disguise for the company as the changes can be in-corporated before the production is shifted to the main plant in Sanand, Gujrat. Tata Motors is also in advanced stages of the development of the Tata Nano Diesel which will be introduced by the end of 2011. The all new twin cylinder engine will be one of the smallest diesel engine with common rail technology and will develop a healthy 40 bhp.
