Abstract
A method for cleaning a vulcanization mold for tires in a curing press uses device having a collaborative mobile robot and incorporating a computer program. The robot includes an autonomous mobile platform mounted on drive wheels and having batteries supplying electricity, a dry ice dispenser, sensors for identifying the location of the mold to be cleaned, and motors ensuring its displacement between a storage location of the device and the mold to be cleaned and the displacement of an articulated mobile arm of the robot. The robot bears a nozzle for spraying dry ice from the dispenser. The device comprises means for communication with a control unit. The control unit sends a mission instruction to the device, which navigates between a storage location and the location of the mold and automatically cleans the vulcanization mold.
