  • Method for the detection of cable spacing in green tire
    Patent number: 12117290
    Abstract: A method for use in the construction of tires is provided for sensing spacing between a plurality of radial cables in a tissue is provided. The method utilizes a probe that has a first magnet, a second magnet, a magnetic bridge, and a spacing hall effect sensor. The magnets are spaced from one another in a probe first length direction, and the spacing hall effect sensor is located between the magnets in the probe first length direction. The spacing hall effect sensor is located between the magnetic bridge and the cables in a probe second height direction when the probe is positioned next to the partially constructed tire. The probe is placed next to the partially constructed tire such that the first cable direction is not parallel to the probe first length direction. The probe is then used to sense spacing between successive ones of the cables.
