Abstract: To determine the magnitude of variation in predetermined quality in a longitudinal direction of an elongated tire member formed by bonding a plurality of types of constituent members, X-rays are applied to a predetermined length range of a tire member, which is elongated, from a top surface side of the tire member while conveying the tire member in a longitudinal direction using a conveying device to acquire image data based on X-ray transmittance of the predetermined length range. The image data is input into a calculation device. Based on contrast in the image data, the magnitude of variation in the dimension in the width direction of a constituent member in the longitudinal direction is calculated by the calculation device, the constituent member being formed of unvulcanized rubber having a larger mass and a higher content rate of a specific component in the tire member.

Abstract: Continuously performed is a process of applying, by an X-ray inspection device, X-rays to a predetermined length range from a top surface side of a tire member while conveying the tire member in a longitudinal direction by using a conveying device to acquire image data based on X-ray transmittance. The image data of the predetermined length range continuous without gaps in the longitudinal direction is acquired. Based on contrast in each piece of the image data, a magnitude of variation in the longitudinal direction of a distribution of a constituent member formed of unvulcanized rubber having a larger mass and a higher content rate of a specific component in the tire member is calculated by a calculation device. The variation is corrected by controlling, based on the magnitude of the variation, a rotation speed of a screw disposed in at least one extruder by a control device.
