Tire curing monitoring and control method
Abstract
Abstract In the process of molding and curing pneumatic tires, a means senses certain selected quantities (e.g. cure cycle length) in the tire press and, in some applications, a post cure inflator, and feeds the sensed signals to a digital computer. The computer scans the input and compares it with pre-sorted ideal values. If the sensed data differs from the stored values by too great a degree, the computer provides an appropriate output. Further, the computer may control a tire marker to mark those tires which fail the comparison. In addition, by feeding information to the computer from a plurality of presses, accurate inventory counts, production requirements, production and press break-down history, and so forth, may be maintained automatically.
