12. A system comprising:
-
a first set of dynamometers configured to receive a first set of wheels; a second set of dynamometers configured to receive a second set of wheels, a plurality of alignment detectors; and a wheel aligner communicatively coupled to the first and second sets of dynamometers and the plurality of alignment detectors, the wheel aligner configured to; independently rotate the first set of dynamometers to align a first set of tire pressure monitoring system sensors corresponding to the first set of wheels; determine an alignment position for a second set of tire pressure monitoring system sensors corresponding to the second set of wheels; and independently rotate the second set of dynamometers to position the second set of wheels into the alignment position.
