Abstract:
1. A method for automatically stacking tires ( 4 ) on a support ( 1 ), the method comprising: obtaining a digital tire model of the tires ( extracting geometrical data of the tires ( calculating a stacking pattern for the tires on the support based on the extracted geometrical data and a predefinable size of the support ( wherein, for different types of tires, different sets of parameters are predefined and used in which ranges of variation of parameters are specified when calculating the stacking pattern, adopting positional data of the tires ( generating and storing associated trajectories of a handling device for stacking the tires ( retrieving and transferring the stored positional data and the associated trajectories for stacking the tires ( receiving the tires ( placing the tires on the support (
