ABSTRACT:
A system for manufacturing tires includes a flangeless green tire assembly drum mounted to a head stock by a cantilevered shaft and coaxially aligned with a belt-tread stock building drum. A transfer mechanism is positioned intermediate the two drums and transfers a built belt-tread stock assembly from the drum to the green tire assembly drum. An unloading mechanism for the built green tires includes two extensible arms mounted to the head stock and flanking the green tire drum, having gripping members at the ends of the arms which are movable towards and away from the green tires, to pick up the completed green tires and move them from the green tire assembly drum. A carcass loading apparatus is incorporated into the unloading apparatus and is fixedly mounted longitudinally to, but rotatable relative to, the extensible arm. The carcass loading apparatus includes a rotatable arm mounted to the extensible arm having a cradle at the end thereof for carrying the carcass. The gripping members pick up a green tire from the green tire assembly drum and move it longitudinally away, to a position where it unloads the green tire. The arm carrying the cradle is movable along with the extensible arm to a longitudinal position beyond the green tire assembly drum. The arm and carcass are rotatable into coaxial alignment with the green tire assembly drum and the extensible arms are retractable to position the new carcass over the green tire assembly drum.
