Abstract
A manufacturing method includes: cutting out a sheet-like belt 8b by cutting a master roll 8a between a master roll table 10 and a belt table 14; moving the belt table 14 carrying the cut-out sheet-like belt 8b to a winding position of the sheet-like belt 8b; and winding the sheet-like belt 8b around a winding cylinder 50 at the winding position. The master roll 8a is fixed onto the belt table 14 by attraction when the master roll 8a is cut between the master roll table 10 and the belt table 14 and the belt table 14 is moved to the winding position of the sheet-like belt 8b while keeping the cut-out sheet-like belt 8b fixed onto the belt table 14 by attraction.
Claims6
A manufacturing method of a tire belt for manufacturing a sheet-like belt first from a master roll formed by covering multiple belt cords lined up parallel to one another with rubber, and then forming a cylindrical belt by winding the sheet-like belt around a molding drum, comprising:
- placing the master roll on a master roll table;
- feeding the master roll from the master roll table to a belt table situated adjacent to the master roll table;
- cutting out a portion of the master roll placed on the belt table as the sheet-like belt for one full circle of a tire by cutting the master roll between the master roll table and the belt table;
- moving the belt table carrying the cut-out sheet-like belt for one full circle of the tire to a winding position of the sheet-like belt;
- winding the sheet-like belt for one full circle of the tire around a single winding cylinder at the winding position;
- transporting the winding cylinder wound with the sheet-like belt to a place of the molding drum which is a place distant from the winding position;
- and unwinding the sheet-like belt from the winding cylinder and forming the cylindrical belt by winding the unwound sheet-like belt around the molding drum, wherein:
- the master roll is fixed onto the belt table by attraction when the master roll is cut between the master roll table and the belt table;
- the belt table is moved to the winding position of the sheet-like belt while keeping the cut-out sheet-like belt fixed onto the belt table by attraction;
- and the master roll is fixed to the master roll table by a pressing member so that the master roll is pressed closer to the master roll table than when the master roll is in a cutting position between the master roll table and the belt table.
