Welcome to Bartec Auto ID Limited – World Leader in TPMS Tools

Bartec Auto ID Ltd are world leaders in the manufacture and supply of TPMS Antenna systems and hand tools for the Tyre and Wheel Assembly line and the Automotive Assembly Line or Final Line along with systems integration, installation, advice, training, services and support. The company has installed TPMS read and test systems in over eighty plants for the world's car manufacturers since 1998. We have factory installed TPMS systems worldwide at Ford, GM, Chrysler, BMW, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Isuzu, Renault, Nissan, Holden, Hyundai, Kia, Land Rover, Jaguar, Opel, Vauxhall, Mercedes and Volvo and tyre and wheel manufacturers across the world. Our TPMS tools are designed to meet the requirements of the NHTSA TREAD ACT and also the new EU TPMS legislation. These Tyre Pressure Monitoring tools are designed to test and activate TPMS sensors from Schrader, Siemens VDO (now Continental), TRW, Lear, Beru and Pacific.

The company are also world leaders in TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems) for the aftermarket. The OEM plant work is one key reason our Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) dealer tools are always more up to date than our competitors and our technology is always ahead of the market. Call +44 (0)1226 770581 (Europe) or +1 (866) 407-TPMS (US).

Because Bartec Auto ID Ltd sets the ECU (Engine Control Unit) up and subsequently tests them in the plant, we have the most up to date technology in the aftermarket. The TPMS Tools can be easily reprogrammed and updated and you can get TPMS Tools which work with model year 2009 TPMS sensors now. The EU have stipulated that by 2014 all new manufactured cars in the European Union will be fitted with TPMS systems, most of which use 'direct' sensors, which are either part of the valve stem or banded to the wheel. These transmit their own ID along with their pressure, temperature and other data to the vehicle ECU. Every time you need to replace a TPMS sensor then the ECU needs to be reprogrammed with the new ID and its position on the vehicle. Our website offers a full portfolio of products, advice and expertise in TPMS technologies including TPMS Tools and ongoing support information regarding Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems.

TPMS FOR TYRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY LINES
Bartec Auto ID Ltd have a range of TPMS Test Antennas and Tools designed for different stages of the wheel and tyre assembly line. These are designed to read the TPMS sensors to show they are working at key stages of their assembly into the wheel and to also to establish that a fully tested wheel and tyre assembly with TPMS was transferred to the final line. The systems have been supplied to many wheel and tyre businesses around the world including: MC Syncro, Goodyear, T&WA, Superior Wheel, Great Lakes, Topy, TWISThink, Accuride, Prime Wheel, AAP St Marys, Hayes Lemerrz, ION, Schedl, FSZM and the internal wheel and tyre assembly lines of most of the OEMs. They include the following applications:

TPMS FOR AUTOMOTIVE ASSEMBLY LINES
Bartec Auto ID Ltd have supplied automated and manual TPMS learning and programming systems for production line to vehicle manufacturers around the world.

Final line systems, by the very nature, must be very reliable and need minimal user intervention if automated. The process usually includes some integration with the factory systems so that vehicles can be successfully identified and read by the equipment. The most important design feature of the Bartec Auto ID Ltd antenna systems is to distinguish between real and false radio signals to eliminate RF reflections and crosstalk. The Bartec Auto ID Limited LF and RF design of antenna system provides the very highest performance of TPMS equipment and minimises rework.

TPMS SENSORS Direct TPMS sensors use a pressure sensor directly mounted on the wheel of a vehicle. The pressure inside the tyre is measured using a pressure transducer with the pressure information being subsequently sent to the vehicle to warn the driver of under or over inflation of a tyre. The pressure information is transmitted to the vehicle using radio frequency (RF) technology. What is a Tyre Pressure Sensor? Direct TPMS

TPMS LEGISLATION

• US TPMS legislation

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Legislation has driven the implementation of TPMS by OEM's, initially in the US. The US Tread Act, final rule, was established on April 8 2005. NHTSA stipulated that by September 2008 all newly manufactured or imported US cars were to be fitted with TPMS systems most of which use 'direct' sensors which are either part of the valve stem or banded to the wheel. These were to include all passenger vehicles and light trucks with GWVR of 10,000 lbs and less.

• EU TPMS legislation

On Tuesday 10th March 2009 The European Parliament in Strasbourg officially approved a Directive Proposal of the Commission aimed to simplify and change the type approval of motor vehicles in Europe. At the same time this proposal introduces a series of implementing measures imposing mandatory adoption of some proven existing technology including Tyre Pressure monitoring Systems (and ESP).

Introduction of TPMS systems will be over a two year phase-in schedule starting from November 1st 2012. Article 13.1 to 13.4 of the adopted text states that all vehicles type approved after this date must install TPMS systems as well as all vehicles manufactured after November 1st 2014.
