A grinding assembly contacts a tire supported by a frame relative to the tire. The grinding assembly includes at least one section, and an axial positioning assembly supporting the at least one section. The axial positioning assembly enables the at least one section to be axially repositioned relative to the tire. The at least one section includes a grinding head, where the grinding head includes a grindstone rotatably supported thereon, the grindstone having rounded shoulders at its axial extremities. The grinding assembly further includes a radial positioning assembly supporting the grinding head for radial movement with respect to the tire.

Tire profile generating machine and related methods

An apparatus and related method for detecting splice gaps and splice overlaps includes a processor having a memory and a plurality of logic tables, wherein the processor is connected to an input/output terminal, a probe, an encoder and a motor which rotates a tire about an axis of rotation. The processor performs several different comparisons upon collected measurement data to reliably ascertain if a sudden change in tire uniformity has occurred. These tests involve comparison of successive data points with one another to determine whether an unacceptable rate of change in the tire uniformity has occurred. If an unacceptable rate of change has occurred, the processor provides such an indication to the input/output terminal.
