Robotic cell system for balancing a wheel and tire assembly

A robot of a wheel and tire assembly balancing system configured to transport a wheel and tire assembly (WTA) within a defined perimeter, comprising:

• a selectively movable arm;
• an end effector connected to an end of the movable arm and configured to selectively engage a portion of a WTA;
• and
• a controller configured to provide instructions to the arm and end effector to selectively move the WTA to at least one of a plurality of stations within the perimeter for providing a balancing process for the WTA, wherein the controller is configured to
• instruct the end effector to engage with a WTA at a load station,
• instruct the arm to move the WTA to a weight apply station and release the WTA at the weight apply station,
• instruct the arm to move to a load station and to engage with a next WTA at the load station during installation of at least one weight on the WTA at the weight apply station,
• instruct the arm to move the next WTA to a balancer station, and
• instruct the end effector to release grip on the next WTA at the balancer station.
