Anyone aged 18 or over with a driving licence soon learns, for the sake of their car, to pay attention to tyre pressure checks, balancing, alignment and rotation. Carried out regularly after a certain mileage, as driving lessons point out, they make tyres last longer, save fuel and make driving safer.
The series production of these elastic tubular casings for car and vehicle wheels uses special, mostly automated machinery that, in order, lays the carcass plies, anchors them to the bead wires, vulcanises them, casts the rubber covering, cures it while moulding the sidewalls and cuts the tread.
Building these machines keeps many mechanical parts manufacturers busy. The many complex parts to be made in the workshop, almost always different from one another, require not only experienced operators able to switch jobs flexibly, but also state-of-the-art machine tools.
With justified pride, the Veneto industrial cluster highlights the high technological level reached by its systems for producing mechanical components for the automotive sector, second to none.
