摘要： Disclosed is a dual tire component servicer and a method for supplying a first tire component and a second tire component to a tire building drum, wherein the dual tire component servicer includes a first conveyor and a second conveyor for conveying the first tire component and the second tire component, respectively, in a supply direction towards the tire building drum. The dual tire component servicer further includes a first pick-and-place unit and a second pick-and-place unit for transferring the first tire component and the second tire component, respectively, from their respective conveyors to the tire building drum. The first pick-and-place unit and the second pick-and-place unit are automatically and independently movable relative to each other in a lateral direction perpendicular to the supply direction.

摘要： A method for building green tyres includes: feeding an elementary semifinished product with a feeding apparatus; associating an anthropomorphic robotized arm with a forming drum; sending movement commands to the arm to move the forming drum in a working zone, the forming drum being moved while the feeding apparatus is feeding an elementary semifinished product, so that it is laid on the forming drum. Movement commands are sent to the arm, including: determining target coordinates for the arm in order to move the forming drum in the working zone; modifying the target coordinates by a correction function associated with the arm and the working zone, and using the modified coordinates for such movement commands.

摘要： A first ply and then a second ply, which is superposed on the first ply, are produced on a hoop-type first support. The hoop-type first support has a first receiving surface, to form a laminate. The first and second plies forming the laminate are transferred onto an annular second receiving surface of a core so that the laminate is wrapped on the core until each ply is closed on itself and the laminate is thus closed on itself in a ring about the central axis of the core.

摘要： An apparatus for depositing a piece of band-like elastomeric element on a forming support in a process for building a tyre for vehicle wheels. The apparatus operates by feeding a piece of band-like elastomeric element having a predetermined nominal length towards the forming support along a predetermined feeding direction and measuring the actual length of the piece along the feeding direction. If the actual length is lower than or equal to a circumferential length of a deposition surface defined on the forming support, the piece is deposited on the deposition surface while the forming support rotates about a rotation axis thereof. During such deposition the piece is pressed on the deposition surface with a pressing force selected as a function of the actual length.

摘要： The reinforcing structure for a tire is in the form of a stratified assembly formed of two layers of reinforcing strips of completely connected cross section, and flattened in shape. According to the method, the strips of each layer are laid side by side in a main direction of laying. The strips of the first layer are spaced apart by a distance that is less than the width of the strips of the second layer and in such a way that the edges of the strips of the first layer overlap the edges of the strips of the second layer. The two layers of strips are separated by a layer of uncoupling rubber.

摘要： In a pneumatic tire, a partial tie rubber layer is disposed between a carcass layer and an innerliner layer in a limited manner across an entire region excluding end portions near a pair of bead portions; end surfaces on both sides in a tire lateral direction of the partial tie rubber layer are inclined surfaces that form an acute angle with respect to a surface of the partial tie rubber layer on the carcass layer side; and an inclination angle of the inclined surfaces with respect to the surface of the partial tie rubber layer on the carcass layer side is from 20° to 60°.

摘要： A manufacturing device for an unvulcanized band-shaped rubber member is provided. A position sensor detects, across a width direction of the band-shaped rubber member, leading and trailing ends of the band-shaped rubber member placed in a flat state on a conveyor, holding portions arranged side by side in the width direction hold at least one of the leading or trailing ends, with movement portions allowing the holding portions to move individually in a front-rear direction, the leading and the trailing ends are held by the leading and trailing end holding mechanisms, respectively, and a control unit controls a displacement of the movement portions in the front-rear direction based on data from the position sensor and a target length to adjust elongation in the front-rear direction at or near a held portion held by each of the holding portions to achieve the target length of the band-shaped rubber member.
