ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for manufacturing components for a tire being worked is provided. The apparatus includes a toroidal support for carrying the components of a tire being worked. The toroidal support has an outer surface substantially matching an inner shape of the tire. The apparatus also includes means for feeding at least one elongated element through at least one delivery member disposed adjacent to the outer surface of the toroidal support. The apparatus also includes means for circumferential distribution arranged to drive the toroidal support in rotation around a geometric axis of rotation of the toroidal support so that the at least one elongated element is circumferentially distributed on the toroidal support. The apparatus also includes means for transverse distribution arranged to give controlled relative displacements between the toroidal support and the delivery member for distributing the at least one elongated element to form a plurality of coils disposed in side-by-side relationship in order to define a tire component. The transverse distribution means operates on the toroidal support for moving the toroidal support relative to the delivery member, and the circumferential distribution means and the transverse distribution means are integrated into a robotized arm.
