Claims26
A grinder in a tire uniformity machine having a frame including a first side frame member and a second side frame member, the frame receiving a tire having a central axis for testing, the grinder, comprising:
- a carriage pivotally attached to the first side frame member and a locking assembly adjacent said carriage and the second side frame member selectively coupling said carriage to the second side frame member when said carriage is in the operating position;
- a grinding head supported on one end of said carriage, said grinding head having at least one grinding stone and at least one motor coupled to said grinding stone capable of causing rotation thereof.
A tilt adjustor in a tire uniformity machine that tests a tire having a circumference, the tire uniformity machine having a grinding head supported on an arm at a pivot and pivotable about a pivot axis extending through the pivot parallel to a tangent of the circumference of the tire, the tilt adjustor comprising:
- a motor assembly supported on the arm and operatively coupled to the grinding head, whereby activation of said motor assembly causes the grinding head to pivot about the pivot axis.
