Abstract: A method for making a carcass for a pneumatic vehicle tire includes building up a carcass free from sidewalls with an inner liner, a single-ply or multi-ply carcass inlay and bead cores, at a carcass station on a carcass building drum, while creating ply turnups. The carcass produced without sidewalls is transferred to a transfer device. The carcass is kept on the transfer device while applying sidewalls to the carcass. The carcass is retained on the transfer device while transferring the carcass provided with the sidewalls to a shaping machine where the carcass is shaped into a toroidal shape.

Abstract: A method for making a vehicle tire includes winding a carcass ply onto a carcass drum, wherein the carcass drum includes a device for setting tire cores and a mechanism for folding the carcass ply over a tire core; finishing the tire carcass; removing the tire carcass from the carcass drum; moving the tire carcass over a cambering drum; carrying out a core clamping with segments of the cambering drum with the tire sidewalls clamped with the tire carcass in the region of the tire bead at the cambering drum via core clamping; moving the carcass transfer unit away from the cambering unit; cambering the tire carcass with the tire sidewalls which are on both sides, wherein the tire sidewalls are turned up laterally on the tire carcass by a turning-up device and the tire carcass is combined with the coaxially arranged belt-tread packet; and, finishing the green tire.

Abstract: A belt package for a pneumatic vehicle tire has at least two belt plies. The belt plies are built up in at least two sub-packages, which are automatically placed on a belt drum and automatically spliced independently of one another. The sub-packages are then joined together to form the complete belt package.
