Force feedback system for bead exerciser

A bead exerciser system for an automated wheel assembly, comprising:

• a drum roller configured to rotate a wheel assembly;
• a pair of pinch rollers arranged on an opposite side of the wheel assembly than the drum roller, the pinch rollers driven by a driver and configured to apply force to a tire of the wheel assembly;
• a controller configured to
• instruct the pinch rollers to apply a force until a predefined threshold is reached;
• and
• store a pinch-roller distance between the pinch rollers in response to the predefined threshold being reached in a memory.

A method for validating a force of a bead exerciser system, comprising:

• receiving actuator data from a driver configured to vertically move a pair of pinch rollers;
• determining a force of the pinch rollers based on the actuator data;
• determining whether the force is within a predefined threshold range;
• and
• instructing an alert in response to the force not being within the predefined threshold range.
