摘要:
A method and apparatus for manufacturing endless reinforced belts (152) is disclosed. The method comprising the steps of laying up on a flat build table (2) at least one sheet of curable material (32) and at least one sheet of reinforcement material forming a carcass (90), curing a central portion of the carcass, and then splicing and curing the uncured ends of the carcass to form the endless lugged track. The manufacturing system has three cells: a building cell (A), a flat cure press cell (B), and a splice cure press cell (C). Each cell is operated in series.
摘要:
A building unit for constructing a multi-layered, finite length structure, and a method of building such a structure is disclosed. Rolls of stock material (32) are stored in cartridge stations (8) adjacent to a build table (2). Mounted on the build table and capable of traveling the length of the build table is a build shuttle (4). The stock material is moved onto the build shuttle (4) and as the shuttle travels the length of the table (2), the material is dispensed and laid onto the table. The shear assembly (62) on the build shuttle cuts the material to a specified length. In this manner, a plurality of layers are laid onto the table (2) until a structure containing a desired number of layers is achieved.

A tire mold (2) has radially inner surfaces (6, 8) for forming a tread (22) and a pair of sidewalls (24), the tire mold (2) having at least one sidewall forming portion (6, 8) having a surface finish of less than 15 micro inches, preferably less than 10 micro inches. A tire (20) produced in a tire mold (2) has at least one sidewall (24) having a surface gloss greater than 10 as measured using a 60-degree gloss reading per ASTM Designation D523-89.
