Tire dressing machine and application method
A vehicle tire dressing machine comprises a longitudinal linear guide system and a lateral linear guide system. The longitudinal linear guide system is adjacent and parallel to a transport conveyor for a vehicle having a vehicle tire, and the longitudinal linear guide system has a drive motor and is adapted for reciprocal motion thereon.
1. A system comprising:
a sensor mounted adjacent to a transport conveyor for a vehicle having a vehicle tire, wherein the sensor is operably connected to at least one motor and is movable across a chord of the vehicle tire,
a logic controller in communication with the sensor, wherein the logic controller calculates a measurement of the vehicle tire, and
a vehicle tire dressing machine in communication with the logic controller, wherein the vehicle tire dressing machine has a timing pulley for driving a timing belt.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is mounted in a pathway of the vehicle to detect the presence of the vehicle tire.
3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the logic controller in communication with the sensor is operable to calculate a diameter of the vehicle tire from the chord.
4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a metal detecting sensor.
5. The system according to claim 4 , wherein a tire rim is detectable by the metal detecting sensor.
6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is in communication with the logic controller in a form of a signal.
7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle tire dressing machine comprises an applicator head operable to circumferentially sweep the vehicle tire.
8. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the applicator head is in an orientation normal to a tire wall of the vehicle tire.
