The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for checking tyres. The apparatus (18) comprises a first check unit (19) having an inlet (20) for tyres (2) and comprising a plurality of check tools (43a,43b,43c,43d,43e,43f,43g,43h); a second check unit (23) having an outlet (25) for the tyres (2) and comprising a plurality of check tools (43a,43b,43c,43d,43e,43f,43g,43h); an overturning and transport device (22) operatively interposed between the first check unit (19) and the second check unit (23). The first check unit (19), the second check unit (23) and the overturning and transport device (22) define a check path (26) configured in a manner so as to be traversed by each tyre (2) step by step. The first check unit (19) and the second check unit (23) comprise the same check tools (43a,43b,43c,43d,43e,43f,43g,43h) configured for executing the same checks on respective axial halves (2a, 2b) of the tyres (2). The overturning and transport device (22) is configured for overturning the tyre (2) around an overturning axis (Z) perpendicular to a main rotation axis (X-X) of the tyre (2) and belonging to an axial centreline plane (M) thereof. |
