TYRE PRODUCTION METHOD AND SYSTEM

摘要

A method and system (1) for producing a tyre (2), whereby a lateral surface (10) of the casing (6) is buffed; an inner surface (19) of a tread strip (13) is buffed; a green-rubber cushion (12) and the tread strip (13) are wound about the lateral surface (10) of the casing (6) to assemble the tyre (2); and the tyre (2) is cured. Buffing of the lateral surface (10) of the casing (6) and/or the inner surface (19) of the tread strip (13) includes: directing a laser beam (B) onto the lateral surface (10) of the casing (6) and/or the inner surface (19) of the tread strip (13) to sublimate part of the existing rubber; and producing a relative movement between the laser beam (B) and the lateral surface (10) of the casing (6) and/or the inner surface (19) of the tread strip (13), so the laser beam (B) sweeps over the surface (10; 19).
