<p>An apparatus (10, 100, 200, 300) for processing a tire (T) and a wheel (W) for forming a tire-wheel assembly (TW) is disclosed. The apparatus (10, 100, 200, 300) includes at least one linear mounter sub-station (10c / 10d, 110c / 110d, 210c / 210d, 310c / 310d) that couples the tire (T) with the wheel (W) for forming the tire-wheel assembly (TW). The apparatus (10, 100, 200, 300) also includes a transporting device (30, 130, 230, 330) that transports one of the wheel (W) and the tire (T) along a linear path (LPW, LPT) that traverses the at least one linear mounter sub-station (10c / 10d, 110c / 110d, 210c / 210d, 310c / 310d). The component (40 / 50, 140 / 150, 240 / 250, 340 / 350) of the at least one linear mounter sub-station (10c / 10d, 1 10c / 110d, 210c / 210d, 310c / 310d) resists, but does not prevent, movement of one of the tire (T) and the wheel (W) relative the other of the tire (T) and the wheel (W) along the linear path (LPW, LPT) in order to spatially manipulate one of the tire (T) and the wheel (W) relative the other of the tire (T) and the wheel (W) in order to at least partially couple the tire (T) with the wheel (W) for forming the tire-wheel assembly (TW). A method is also disclosed.</p> |
