Abstract
A tire comprises an inner surface defining and facing an inner hollow space, an outer surface pointing away from the inner hollow space. A method of processing the tire comprises identifying the position of a first feature on the outer surface and cleaning a surface portion of the inner surface of the tire, wherein the surface portion has a first predetermined position relative to the position of the first feature on the outer surface. A separate element is attached with its attachment surface to the surface portion, wherein a ratio of a size of the surface portion over a corresponding size of the attachment surface is smaller than 10.
Claims13
A method of processing a tire, the tire comprising an inner surface defining and facing an inner hollow space, and an outer surface of a flank pointing away from the inner hollow space, the method comprising:
- identifying a first predetermined position of a surface portion of the inner surface by identifying a position of a first feature on the outer surface with a sensor and a knowledge of a predetermined spatial relationship between the position of the first feature and a desired position of the surface portion on the inner surface of the tire;
- and
- cleaning of a surface portion of the inner surface of the tire, the surface portion having the first predetermined position relative to the position of the first feature on the outer surface;
- wherein the predetermined spatial relationship includes a radial position and an angular position on the tire.
