Abstract
A mechanism for aligning a tire on a wheel in a single station comprising a rotating mechanism to rotate either the wheel or tire. A sensing mechanism to sense the presence of indicia on one of the wheel or tire as it is rotated and to then actuate a holding mechanism to grip either the wheel or tire thus preventing rotation. The sensing mechanism further senses the presence of indicia on the other of the wheel or tire as it is rotated and to cause the rotation thereof to stop at a predetermined location to assure accurate relative alignment of the wheel and tire.
