Abstract: A pneumatic tire pre-conditioning system includes a conveyor system, a belt assembly, a friction device and a drive system. The conveyor system includes a tire engaging surface, a first side, and a second side. The belt assembly is adjacent to the first side of the tire engaging surface. The friction device is adjacent to the second side of the tire engaging surface. The drive system is configured to move a tire along the tire engaging surface in a path between the belt assembly and the friction device.

Abstract: A workpiece diverter station is disclosed. The workpiece diverter station includes: a base frame; an X-direction workpiece transporter subassembly; a Z-direction lift assembly; and a Y-direction workpiece transporter subassembly. The X-direction workpiece transporter subassembly is axially fixedly supported with respect to the base frame in a Z-direction. The Z-direction lift assembly is supported by the base frame. The Y-direction workpiece transporter subassembly is connected to the Z-direction lift assembly and is axially movably supported with respect to the base frame in the Z-direction. A portion of a workpiece diverter station is also disclosed. A method for operating a workpiece diverter station is also disclosed. A method for servicing a portion of a workpiece diverter station is also disclosed.
