News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “This section provides background information related to th e present disclosure and is not necessarily prior art. Wheel assemblies may incl ude a wheel, a valve stem and/or a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor . Known wheel assembly systems include (i) a tool that engages a valve stem and assembles the valve stem through an aperture formed in a wheel, and (ii) another tool that engages a TPMS sensor and assembles the TPMS sensor through an apertu re formed in a wheel. Accordingly, known wheel assembly systems may include a fi rst station for staging a valve stem for receipt by a first tool, and a second s tation for staging receipt of a TPMS sensor for receipt by a second tool. In kno wn methods of assembling a wheel, the first and second tools may operate to rece ive the valve stem and the TPMS sensor, respectively, and install the valve stem and the TPMS sensor relative to the wheel. While known wheel assembly systems a nd methods have proven acceptable for their intended purposes, a continuous need for improvement in the pertinent art exists.”
