ABSTRACT:
A tire uniformity inspecting machine includes a framework constructed by setting first, second and third columns upright in a triangular arrangement and fixedly joining a substantially triangular top plate to the respective upper ends of the first, second and third columns, a tire conveying device for conveying a tire to and ejecting the same from the framework, tire driving device for driving the tire for rotation, a tire lifting device disposed under the tire conveying device to lift a tire held on the tire conveying device toward the tire driving device, and an artificial road member provided on the top plate so as to be brought into contact with the outer circumference of the tire rotated by the tie driving device. The triangular configuration of the framework facilitates tire uniformity inspecting operations and facilitates the use of overhead crane for changing a rim assembly for holding the tire for uniformity inspection. The triangular arrangement of the first, second and third columns facilitates the disposition and operation of a grinding machine for correcting the shape of the tire.
