A blow molding assembly includes a die, a mandrel, and a die holder. The die defines an inner wall. The mandrel is disposed at least partially inside the inner wall of the die and defines, with the inner wall of the die, an annular gap that shapes a molten resin passed therethrough, forming a parison. The die holder includes a body and three or more spring-loaded fasteners positioned around an inner perimeter of the body. The spring-loaded fasteners apply pressure to respective positions on an outer surface of the die while permitting movement of the die within a plane that is substantially orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the mandrel in response to pressure variations of the molten resin, keeping a thickness of the parison substantially even. Each of the spring-loaded fasteners includes a spring-loaded plunger engaging the respective position on the outer surface of the die.

In a resin film manufacturing device according to an embodiment, a current state and a reward for a previously selected action are determined for each heat bolt based on a control error calculated from a thickness distribution of a resin film acquired from a thickness sensor. Then, control conditions, which are a combination of states and actions, are updated based on the reward, and a most appropriate action corresponding to the current state is selected from the updated control conditions. Then, the heater is controlled based on the most appropriate action.

An apparatus includes a first roll and a second roll on each of which a pattern is formed, a first motor and a second motor to rotate the respective rolls, a shaft direction supporting mechanism to support the second roll along a shaft direction and an axial position adjusting mechanism configured to move the shaft direction supporting mechanism along the shaft direction. The posture of the rotating shaft of the second motor is maintained constant at all times, and the second roll is moved in the shaft direction along the first roll, thereby adjusting the positions of both patterns on the first roll and the second roll along the shaft direction.

In a process for building tyres for vehicle wheels, at least one tread band (9) or other elastomeric component of a tyre (2) is made by applying at least one continuous elongated element (14) according to a plurality of turns (C) around a forming drum (15) rotating around a geometric rotation axis (X) thereof. The continuous elongated element (14) is made by the action of extruding a first material through an extrusion nozzle (16), to form an inner core (33) of said continuous elongated element (14) exiting from an outlet opening (18) of the extrusion nozzle (16). During the extrusion, a second material different from the first material is conveyed around the first material, at the extrusion nozzle (16) and upstream of the outlet opening (18), to form a coating layer (32) which entirely surrounds the inner core (33).
