Abstract :
It is noted that rapid evolution of automatic tire-building systems has created a number of complex machine control problems, ranging from the control of the basic machine functions to advanced features that seek to enhance tire uniformity and maximize productivity. The authors examine the specific requirements of a Unistage-type tire-building machine and propose a control system that solves the specific problems posed by this type of automatic tire assembly system. The control system is evaluated relative to the performance of the machine. Projections are made about future trends
