ABSTRACT:
A tire uniformity inspection machine is calibrated by applying to at least one force measuring channel thereof a signal which simulates the application of a force of a magnitude greater than any force actually applied to the machine during calibration. That signal, which is preferably of a magnitude appropriate to simulate the largest forces encountered during actual tire testing, can be generated by connecting the channel, preferably at its input, to an energy source through an impedance. The response of the channel to the signal is measured and a calibration factor is determined based on that response. Such calibration factor accounts for the actual behavior of the channel more truely than prior art calibration techniques which relied solely upon the relatively small signal excitation conditions achievable by applying a relatively small actual force to the machine. Thus, the invention affords tire uniformity measurements of improved accuracy.
