    • An apparatus and method for mounting a valve stem to the rim of a vehicle wheel includes locating apparatus that determines the location of an aperture on the wheel rim for receiving the valve stem, the locating apparatus preferably including a machine vision system at a gauging station. A programmable, robotic manipulator capable of compound, multi-axial movement and capable of engaging the valve stem is controlled by a controller to engage a valve stem, move the valve stem to the aperture in the wheel rim, coaxially align the central axis of the aperture with the longitudinal axis of the valve stem, and insert the valve stem through the aperture along the aligned central and longitudinal axes. Optionally, the robotic manipulator may include a nut runner to tighten a nut over the valve stem. Alternately, the gauging station may include a rotating table to rotate the vehicle wheel and an optical sensor for detecting the location of the aperture for the valve stem. Preferably, the machine vision system is a video camera that can identify the wheel rim as being one of a plurality of different types of wheel rims and verify the location of the valve stem receiving aperture on the wheel rim. Optionally, a mechanical probe may be inserted into the valve stem receiving aperture to verify the location of the aperture before insertion of the valve stem.
    • 用于将阀杆安装到车轮的轮缘的装置和方法包括定位装置,其确定用于接收阀杆的轮缘上的孔的位置,定位装置优选地包括在测量台处的机器视觉系统。 能够进行复合,多轴向运动并且能够接合阀杆的可编程机器人操纵器由控制器控制以接合阀杆,将阀杆移动到轮缘中的孔,同轴地对准中心轴线 孔与阀杆的纵向轴线,并沿着对准的中心轴和纵向轴线将阀杆插入孔。 可选地,机器人操纵器可以包括螺母扳手,以将螺母拧紧在阀杆上。 或者,测量站可以包括旋转车轮的旋转台和用于检测阀杆的孔的位置的光学传感器。 优选地,机器视觉系统是可以将轮缘识别为多个不同类型的轮缘之一的视频摄像机,并验证在该轮缘上的阀杆接收孔的位置。 可选地,机械探针可以插入阀杆接收孔中,以在插入阀杆之前验证孔的位置。
