<p>The present invention is related to a process and apparatus for manufacturing tyres for vehicle wheels. At least one of the components of the green tyre (100) is formed by supplying an elongated element (14) made of elastomeric material along a feed path. A piece (57) is cut from a head section of the elongated element (14), advanced on a conveyor (11 b) up to a forming drum (3) and deposited on a radially outer surface (3a) of the forming drum (3). The cutting comprises: depositing, between an abutment surface (32) and a coupling surface (42, 46) that are opposite each other, each of two portions (T, H) of the elongated element (14) situated on opposite sides of a transverse cutting line (S); cutting the elongated element (14) along such transverse cutting line (S) while the two portions (T, H) are arranged between said abutmenht surface (32) and said coupling surface (42,46).</p> |
