DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN AIR SPRING

摘要

Device for manufacturing an air spring on a building drum (1). The air spring comprises the following components: a first ply (2), a second ply (3), an outer cover (4), and an inner liner (5). The device comprises: a main conveyor (6) having a drive (9) and a first end (7) oriented towards the building drum and a second end (8) oriented away from the building drum, a first ply unit (11) for placing the first ply on a first ply position on the main conveyor; a second ply unit (15) for placing the second ply on a second ply position on the main conveyor; an outer cover unit (19) for placing the outer cover on an outer cover position on the main conveyor; an inner liner unit (22) for placing the inner liner on an inner liner position on the main conveyor. The distance to the first end of the main conveyor increases in the following order: first ply position, second ply position, outer cover position and inner liner position. A control unit (26) controls the operation of the parts.
