A dispense robot for applying a sealant layer on an inner surface of a tire as the tire rotates about a horizontal axis of rotation includes an articulating arm assembly including a distal arm member. A sealant nozzle may be carried by the distal arm member and configured to dispense a bead of sealant material from a nozzle tip of the sealant nozzle as the sealant nozzle moves in a traversing direction across a width of the inner surface of the rotating tire. First and second distance sensors may be located on opposite sides of the sealant nozzle and configured to view along a length of the sealant nozzle such that a distance of the nozzle tip from the inner surface of the tire is detected by the distance sensors.
