Abstract
Method for setting up a tyre checking apparatus, said apparatus () comprising at least: a support base () for a tyre (); a first acquisition device () and a second acquisition device () for acquiring images representative of said tyre () positioned on said support base (); a first robotic member () for moving said second acquisition device (). Said method comprises: providing a setup device () comprising: a first wall () having first predefined shapes (F); a second wall () having second predefined shapes (F), said second wall () being substantially parallel and non-coplanar to said first wall (); a top surface (); a central reference () arranged on said top surface (). Said method also comprises: executing at least one of a first set-up and a second set-up. Said first set-up sets the first acquisition device (), and comprises: positioning said setup device () on said support base () in a first position (PI); carrying out a first group of movements relative to said setup device (); executing a calibration of said first acquisition device () as a function of said first predefined shapes (F) and second predefined shapes (F). Said second set-up sets said first robotic member () that moves said second acquisition device () and comprises: positioning said setup device () on said support base () in a second position (P); carrying out a second group of movements relative to said setup device (); executing a configuration of said first robotic member () as a function of positions taken by said central reference (). The invention also describes a setup device () adapted for being used in said method.
