摘要:
An apparatus (200) for cutting and applying a component to a tire during a tire building process is disclosed. The apparatus (200) comprises an application head (210) rotatable about a vertical axis and fitted to an X-Y table (220) such that the component (205) can be applied to a curved tire profile spinning on a drum (126, 140) of a tire building machine (100). The application head (210) is configured to feed the component (205) vertically downward to a predetermined position coincident with an intersection of the vertical axis of the application head (210) and a horizontal plane defined by a horizontal axis of rotation of the drum (126, 140) of the tire building machine (100). Also, a method for applying a component to one tire or multiple tires on a tire building machine (100) is disclosed using the apparatus (200).

摘要:
A tire building machine that includes a support housing (140) for rotating the machine about a vertical axis, a support frame (124) operatively attached to the support housing (140) such that the support housing rotates the support frame (124) about the vertical axis, a first drum (126) rotatable about a first horizontal axis by a first motor, the first drum and the first motor being secured to the support frame (124), a first cylinder for horizontally retracting the first drum along the first horizontal axis from an extended position to a retracted position, a second drum (140) rotatable about a second horizontal axis by a second motor (146), the second horizontal axis being parallel to the first horizontal axis, the second drum (140) and the second motor (146) being secured to the support frame (124), and a second cylinder for horizontally retracting the second drum (140) along the second horizontal axis from an extended position to a retracted position.
