Abstract:
In order to restrain the length of an endless metal ring from dispersing, a method of manufacturing a CVT belt has a first-stage stretching step of extending a circumferential length of an endless metal belt by widening distances among rollers. The method includes a measuring step of measuring a spring-back amount of the endless metal belt in the first-stage stretching step. The method includes a calculating step of calculating a predicted spring-back amount that is predicted from the measured spring-back amount. The method also includes a second-stage stretching step of stretching the endless metal belt to process the endless metal belt into a predetermined circumferential length by further widening the distances among the rollers based on the predicted spring-back amount.
