摘要:
An apparatus (10, 10') for processing an un-inflated tire-wheel assembly (TW u ) for forming an inflated tire -wheel assembly (TW 1 ) is disclosed. The apparatus (10, 10') includes at least a first robotic arm (12a) and a second robotic arm (12b) forming a pair of robotic arms (12); an assembling end effecter (10a) attached to the first robotic arm (12a); and an inflating end effecter (10b) attached to the second robotic arm (12b), wherein the assembling end effecter (10a) is indirectly interfaceable with the inflating end effecter (10b) by way of the un-inflated tire-wheel assembly (TW u ). One or more methods are also disclosed. One or more components (40, 40', 40") are also disclosed. One or more systems are also disclosed.
摘要:
A weight applicator for a wheel of a tire-wheel assembly is disclosed. The weight applicator includes an arm portion and an applicator portion connected to the arm portion. The applicator includes a radially-extending flange portion. The radially-extending flange portion is connected to the arm portion. A first plunger portion is movably-connected to the radially-extending flange portion by one of more first radial arms. A method is also disclosed.

An inflator apparatus (10, 100) for inflating more than one un-inflated tire-wheel assembly (TW U ) is disclosed. The inflator apparatus (10, 100) includes a support structure (12); an interface portion (16, 116) rotatably-attached to the support structure (12), wherein the interface portion (16. 116) includes a plurality of inflator heads (26, 126), wherein each inflator head (26a-26c, 126a-126f) of the plurality of inflator heads (26, 126) includes a fluid inlet (60a); a plunger portion (34) movably-connected to the support structure (12), wherein the plunger portion (34) is movably-connected to the support structure (12) to permit selectively coupling of the plunger portion (34) with one inflator head (26a-26c, 126a-126f) of the plurality of inflator heads (26, 126); and a fluid conduit (62) connected to the plunger portion (34), wherein the fluid conduit (62) is fluidly connectable with the fluid inlet (60a) of the one inflator head (26a-26c, 126a-126f) of the plurality of inflator heads (26, 126). A system for processing more than one un-inflated tire-wheel assembly (TW U ) is also disclosed. A method for utilizing an inflator apparatus (10, 100) for inflating more than one un-inflated tire-wheel assembly (TW U ) is also disclosed.
