A method for building green tyres includes: feeding an elementary semifinished product with a feeding apparatus; associating an anthropomorphic robotized arm with a forming drum; sending movement commands to the arm to move the forming drum in a working zone, the forming drum being moved while the feeding apparatus is feeding an elementary semifinished product, so that it is laid on the forming drum. Movement commands are sent to the arm, including: determining target coordinates for the arm in order to move the forming drum in the working zone; modifying the target coordinates by a correction function associated with the arm and the working zone, and using the modified coordinates for such movement commands.

Method for building green tyres

A method and a related station for applying a sensing device to a tyre are described. A tape-shaped support with removably fixed sensing devices is advanced, to feed the sensing devices in sequence. A handling device is then rigidly coupled to a sensing device, maintaining at least a portion of an adhesion surface of the sensing device removably fixed to a support. The sensing device is then completely separated from the support, taken away by the handling device, and applied to an inner surface of a tyre by the handling device.
