A bead exerciser system for an automated wheel assembly may include a center lift configured to lift a wheel assembly off of a conveyor belt, a drum roller configured to rotate the wheel assembly, a pair of pinch rollers driven by a driver and configured to apply force to a tire of the wheel assembly, a force sensor configured to detect a force of the tire against the pinch rollers, and a controller configured to receive the force from the force sensor and generate a command for an alert in response to the force falling outside of a predefined threshold range.

Force feedback system for bead exerciser

A robotic press assembly configured to apply force to a wheel, may include a selectively moveable arm that is operatively connected to a body portion at a first end thereof; and a press tool operatively connected to a second end of the moveable arm; wherein the press tool includes at least one mounting bracket maintaining a press tool thereon, the mounting bracket arranged on a platform, and a base operatively connected to the second end of the arm, the platform being slidably fixed to the base in order to adjust the lateral displacement of the press tool, and wherein the press tool is configured to apply force at the wheel.
