Tire Uniformity Correction Using Multiple Correction Tracks

A uniformity correction system for improving the uniformity of a cured tire, the system comprising:

• a tire fixture on which a tire is configured to be securely mounted;
• an ablation device configured to provide ablation of a tire mounted on said tire fixture, said ablation device configured to rotate about the tire during ablation of the tire;
• and
• a control system, said control system configured to determine an ablation pattern for each of a plurality of tracks about a bead of the tire and to determine a plurality of direct address commands for each ablation pattern based at least in part on an adjustment process, each direct address command specifying one or more ablation parameters for an ablation segment at an address along the bead of the tire, the adjustment process operable to increase azimuthal overlap at an azimuthal location on the tire between two or more ablation segments associated with different tracks of the plurality of tracks along the bead of the tire;
• wherein said control system is further configured to control the ablation device such that tire material is selectively removed from the bead of the tire based at least in part on the direct address commands.
