METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING TIRES ON A FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM.

摘要

A method for simultaneously building a plurality of tire carcasses includes the tire building steps of establishing a sequence of work stations (112), each at a predefined location along a working axis (124) extending through the work stations. Disconnected tire building drums (108) are advanced along the working axis (124) extending through the work stations (112). The tire building drums are coupled to an intake server (126) at each of the work stations for operating the tire building drums. One or more tire components are applied to the tire building drums (108) at each of the work stations.
