An apparatus (10) for making a reinforced elastomeric fabric having a gauge thickness (G) and a cord spacing (S) is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a die (20,30) having a plurality of holes for receiving a reinforcement cord, the holes providing a cord spacing of about S/2, a first and second calender roll (62,64) located adjacent the die, the die having a end plate having a slot wherein the slot is located adjacent a calender roll so that the reinforcement cords are pressed into engagement with a ribbon of elastomeric material, and the calender rolls being spaced to provide a gauge thickness of about G/2. The apparatus further comprises a cutter for cutting the ribbon of reinforced elastomeric material into segments having a length (L), each segment having a width (W), each segment having lateral edges, said apparatus further comprising a pick up arm (92) for placing a plurality of segments onto a conveyor (94) so that the lateral ends of adjacent segments are lap spliced together, the lap splice having a width W/2. |
