Tire structural members manufacturing method and system for carrying out the same

摘要

A tire structural member manufacturing method comprising the steps of:
continuously forming a continuous strip (202) of a width including that of a joint lap;
cutting the continuous strip (202) into successive cut strips (202) of a length; and
successively laying a predetermined number of the cut strips (202) on a strip support (205) and joining the cut strips (202) to form a tire structural member; characterized in that:
the continuous strip (202) is fed continuously to a strip-laying head (220);
the strip-laying head (220) lays the continuous strip (202) onto the strip support (205) as the same is moved transversely for a forward stroke over the strip support(205);
the continuous strip (202) is cut in a cut strip (220) of a predetermined length when the strip-laying head (220) reaches a position near a terminal of the forward stroke;
the strip-laying head (220) and the strip support (205) are moved relative to each other to change the position of the strip-laying head (220);
the strip-laying head (220) lays the continuous strip (202) onto the strip support (205) so that the continuous strip is joined to the preceding cut strip as the same is moved transversely for a backward stroke over the strip support (205); and
the above steps are repeated to overlap cut strips.
