  • Method for the vectorial assembly of green tires in a curing mold
    Patent number: 5244611
    Abstract: A method for the vectorial assembly of green tires (2) in a curing unit (4), whereby a processing unit (12), after performing a first step consisting in determining the origin of a tire (2), i.e. the machine on which it was produced, and the curing unit (4) in which it is to be cured, extracts memorized data relative to the asymmetry of the curing unit (4) and the average tire (2) produced on the machine, and positions the tire (2) angularly in relation to the curing unit (4) so as to compensate for both asymmetries according to a given program.
