MAGNETIC DRIVE-OVER SYSTEM PROVIDING TIRE TREAD THICKNESS/DEPTH MEASUREMENT

A system for measuring a tread of a tire can include a nonmagnetic layer, a frame, and a housing. The nonmagnetic layer can provide a drive-over surface adapted to receive the tire thereon including the tread to be measured. The frame can have a magnet and a magnetic sensor coupled thereto. The housing can include a cavity therein. The frame with the magnet and the magnetic sensor can be mounted in the cavity. The nonmagnetic layer can be provided on the housing and on the frame.
