It is described a method for depositing a piece (100) of band-like elastomeric element on a forming support (500) in a process for building a tyre for vehicle wheels. The method comprises feeding a piece (100) of band-like elastomeric element having a predetermined nominal length towards said forming support (500) along a predetermined feeding direction (A) and measuring the actual length of said piece (100) of band-like elastomeric element along said feeding direction (A). If said actual length is lower than or equal to a circumferential length of a deposition surface (510) defined on the forming support (500), said piece (100) of band-like elastomeric element is deposited on said deposition surface (510) while the forming support (500) rotates about a rotation axis (X) thereof. During such deposition the piece (100) of band-like elastomeric element is pressed on said deposition surface (510) with a pressing force selected as a function of said actual length. It is also described an apparatus (1) that carries out the aforementioned method. |
