FIELD: controlling.
SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to a method for controlling a vulcanisation apparatus for tyre manufacture. Initial parameters (S0) describing at least one of the shape and dimensions of the finished tyres (T2) are retrieved by means of a data processing apparatus (600). First parameters (S1) describing the unvulcanised tyres (T1) are calculated as a function of the initial parameters (S0) by means of the apparatus (600). The first parameters (S1) include at least one parameter (P11) characterising the height of the unvulcanised tyres (T1) in the axial direction. Second parameters (S2) describing the vulcanisation apparatuses (100) are retrieved by means of the apparatus (600). The second parameters (S2) include one or more parameters characterising the dimensions of the vulcanisation apparatuses (100). Third parameters (S3) are calculated as a function of the first parameters (S1) and the second parameters (S2) by means of the apparatus (600). The third parameters (S3) include one or more parameters characterising the positions taken by the movable elements (110) included in the vulcanisation apparatuses (100). Control signals (YY) are generated as a function of the third parameters (S3) by means of the apparatus (600) for controlling movable elements (110) of vulcanisation apparatuses (100) and for producing finished tyres (T2) from unvulcanised tyres (T1). Control signals (YY) are transmitted from the apparatus (600) to the vulcanisation apparatuses (100). Also created are a vulcanisation line (1) operating in accordance with the described method, a data processing apparatus (600) implementing the described method, and an electronic unit (500) included in the data processing apparatus.
EFFECT: technical result is fast and accurate adjustment of operating parameters, a possibility of applying parameters calculated for a separate apparatus for another apparatus of a similar design, which is preferable in terms of time and uniformity of finished products.
