<p>A method for applying a length of elastomeric material having a first and second end to a drum, comprising the steps of: attaching the first end of the length of elastomeric material to the drum using transport means adapted to grasp one end of the piece of elastomeric material; rotating the drum to cause said elastomeric material to wrap partially around the drum; measuring the angular displacement required to wrap the elastomeric material around the drum; calculating the length of elastomeric material required to completely wrap around the drum based on said angular measurement; stretching the elastomeric material in order to allow the first end of the elastomeric material to abut the second end, the stretching determined by control means adapted to detect the angular displacement of the drum; and attaching the second end of the length of elastomeric material to the drum using transport means adapted to grasp one end of the piece of elastomeric material. And an apparatus for carrying out said method.</p> |
