Patent ID: 8262822

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a tyre for vehicle wheels, comprising the steps of: building a carcass structure, comprising at least one carcass ply associated with annular anchoring structures on a forming support; building a belt structure in a radially outer position with respect to said carcass structure; and building a tread band in a radially outer position with respect to said belt structure, wherein said at least one carcass ply, said annular anchoring structures and said belt structure each comprise at least one reinforcing element deposited in a radially outer position with respect to said forming support, and wherein deposition of at the least one reinforcing element comprises the steps of: setting a first deposition path of said at least one reinforcing element on said forming support based upon a theoretical deposition profile; detecting the deviations between an actual deposition profile and said theoretical profile along said first deposition path, including detecting said deviations prior to commencing deposition of said at least one reinforcing element on said forming support along said actual deposition path; defining, based upon said deviations, an actual deposition path of said at least one reinforcing element on said forming support; and depositing said at least one reinforcing element on said forming support along said actual deposition path.
