Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for precisely controlling the volume of a product such as a tire tread or tire that is placed into a mold is provided. This method includes providing a tread or tire that is built upon a portable mold core by laying a series of layers on the portable mold core. The outer diameter of the tire tread or tire is initially built to be purposely smaller than the interior surfaces of the mold in order to prevent any interference from occurring between the mold and the tire tread once the tire tread and core are placed within the mold and the mold is closed. The weight of the tire tread or tire is measured to see if the volume of the tire tread or tire is within acceptable parameters to fit within the mold. If not, additional material is added to the tire or tire tread.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A method for controlling the volume of a product that is to be placed in a mold comprising: providing a mold and a portable mold core; providing a core rotation spindle assembly to which the portable mold core is attached during a weighing step, wherein the core rotation spindle assembly includes a sensor subassembly that is used to weigh the tire tread or tire during the weighing step; attaching the portable mold core to the core rotation spindle before la…
