Method and device for verifying the compatibility of the components of a wheel
First Claim
1. A method for automatically verifying the compatibility of the components of an assembly comprising a rim, a tire capable of being mounted on the rim, said method having the following steps:
- identifying each of the components of said assembly that it is desired to verify by means of automatically checkable identification elements;
mounting the assembly, and thereafter verifying at least two of these components by transmitting the corresponding identification elements to a data management unit;
checking the mutual compatibility of the components corresponding to the identification elements received by the management unit;
detecting any situation in which at least one of the components is incompatible with one or more of the other components;
generating a suitable signal in the event of an incompatibility.

Abstract
A method for verifying the compatibility of the components of a wheel, having the following steps of: identifying each of the components of the assembly by means of an electronic label; after mounting the assembly, verifying at least two of these labels by checking the mutual compatibility of the components corresponding to the identification elements received by a management unit; detecting any situation in which at least one of the components is incompatible with one or more of the other components, and generating a suitable signal in the event of incompatibility.
The invention also relates to a device for carrying out this method, this device comprising an identification element combined with each of the components of the assembly that it is desired to verify, a data transmission means, the management unit being capable of identifying any condition of incompatibility of at least one of the components of an assembly and of generating a signal in the event of a condition of incompatibility.
