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.
A method for manufacturing a tire member for manufacturing, while determining predetermined quality of an elongated tire member formed by bonding a plurality of types of constituent members made of unvulcanized rubber extruded by a plurality of respective extruders, the tire member,
A system for manufacturing a tire member comprising a plurality of extruders configured to extrude constituent members made of a plurality of different types of unvulcanized rubber and manufacturing, while determining predetermined quality of an elongated tire member formed by bonding the plurality of types of constituent members, the tire member,
