Tire & Wheel Systems

For decades, JR Automation has been a global leader in the tire and wheel assembly equipment market. We can help you plan and launch your complete tire and wheel assembly process from start to finish.

Let the JR Automation team of engineers assist your business with planning your tire and wheel assembly operation. From an entirely new process to simple improvement efforts, JR Automation will provide the right professionals with the capacity and expert understanding required to achieve all your performance goals and objectives.

JR Automation is an experienced and reliable provider of roller and belt conveyors for our customers. Our services start from the conceptual phase and go through commissioning and eventual full-production capacity. We will assign a team of qualified individuals to design, fabricate, test, and mount devices for control. If required, we can set up and replicate your conveyor to run just as it will in your facility before shipping it to your facility. In addition to providing complete control systems for conveyors, we can also integrate tracking and traceability systems into your application.

JR Automation provides all the required equipment for tire and wheel handling in the loading and unloading process. We recognize that every customer's needs are unique when it comes to these processes. Therefore, our team of experts will custom design the right system specifically for your business. We've integrated solutions such as lift assists, lift table, material racks, dunnage removal, barcode printing, error-proofing, scheduling systems, and marquees for assisting workers. Let us demonstrate how we can help address all of your system's challenges.

The primary function of a TPMS data marriage system is to gather the serial numbers of each TPMS stem after mounting the assemblies on a vehicle; the vehicle requires the TPMS stem serial numbers to operate its onboard TPMS system. Our proven, reliable data marriage system provides the highest read rates on the market while also performing in some of the most demanding production environments. The data marriage system has three primary components:

• The main control panel houses power distribution, control equipment, PLC, and HMI interfaces to operate the system.
• Two TPMS receiving antennas are staged on opposite sides of the line and triggered by the presence of a vehicle in the station.
• Backup station: A TPMS hand-held reader and small control panel with an HMI interface provide backup should the main station antennas fail to read or are damaged.

TPMS verification antennas are commonly installed in the tire and wheel assembly process before vehicle mount for quality and error-proofing purposes. This ideal product will test the TPMS sensor to ensure that the system installed the correct stem and that the tire has proper inflation. It also helps track rejects and repairs; capture traceability data (weights, build parameters, inflation); and verify orders for correct sequence before shipment. We offer standard LF and RF receiver modules, which are mounted on a 730-millimeter (29 inch) square antenna board to activate and read TPMS devices in tire and wheel assemblies. This application typically takes place in a stop station on a conveyor system. TPMS verification antenna applications include:

• Testing a TPMS sensor before the assembly process
• Error-proofing to ensure the assembly line installed the correct stem
• Testing an assembly for proper inflation
• Tracking rejects and repairs
• Verifying the correct assembly order
• Traceability data (weights, build parameters, inflation values, vehicle ID)
• Confirm shipment and adjust inventory
