TIRE UNIFORMITY MACHINE AND METHOD FOR CHANGING RIMS OF TIRE UNIFORMITY MACHINE

摘要

[Problem] To improve the rim changing efficiency of a tire uniformity machine. [Solution] A tire uniformity machine comprises: a plurality of sets of rims comprising an upper rim (R1) and a lower rim (R2) for gripping a tire; an upper spindle (11s) to which the upper rim (R1) can be detachably attached; a lower spindle (12s) to which the lower rim can be detachably attached; and a spindle lifting/lowering unit for moving the upper and lower spindles (11s, 12s) closer to or farther away from each other, wherein a tire (T) is gripped by one set of the upper and lower rims (R1, R2) attached to the upper and lower spindles (11s, 12s), and then the uniformity of the gripped tire (T) is measured. The tire uniformity machine comprises: an upper rim storage unit (30) which can store a plurality of the upper rims (R1); and a lower rim storage unit (40) which can store a plurality of the lower rims (R2).
