APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPLYING TIRE MATERIAL MEMBERS

摘要

A supply apparatus of tire material members includes a feeder that feeds out first and second continuous material members from which first and second material member is to be cut out, respectively, a conveyer that conveys the first and second continuous material members, a cutter that cuts the first and second continuous material members at a cutting position extending perpendicularly to a conveyance direction every time when the first and second continuous material members are conveyed by a predetermined length, a position detector that detects positions of the first and second continuous material members during a conveyance by the predetermined length from the cutting position, and a position adjuster that, during the conveyance by the predetermined length from the cutting position, adjusts conveyance distances of the first and second continuous material members based on the detected positions of the first and second continuous material members.

1. An apparatus for supplying tire material members, the apparatus comprising:
a feeder that feeds out a first continuous material member from which a first material member is to be cut out and a second continuous material member from which a second material member is to be cut out; a conveyer that conveys the first continuous material member and the second continuous material member; a cutter that cuts the first continuous material member and the second continuous material member at a cutting position along a crossing direction perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the first continuous material member and the second continuous material member every time when the first continuous material member and the second continuous material member are conveyed by a predetermined length; a position detector that detects positions of the first continuous material member and the second continuous material member along the conveyance direction while the first continuous material member and the second continuous material member are conveyed by the predetermined length from the cutting position; and a position adjuster that, while the first continuous material member and the second continuous material member are conveyed by the predetermined length from the cutting position, adjusts conveyance distances of the first continuous material member and the second continuous material member so that positions of downstream ends of the first continuous material member and the second continuous material member are identical to each other along the conveyance direction, based on the positions of the first continuous material member and the second continuous material member along the conveyance direction.
