Abstract
The invention relates to a method and line for checking a tyre (2) for vehicle wheels in which it is provided to determine whether the tyre (2) is made according to a known model among a plurality of known models. If the tyre (2) is made according to a known model, the tyre (2) is inspected to search for any manufacturing defects by acquiring data representative of at least part of the surface of the tyre (2) through a set of image acquisition devices (282) set according to a setting associated with the known model of the tyre. If the tyre (2) is made according to an unknown model, the following steps are carried out in succession: •acquiring a first profile (300) of the tyre (2), wherein the acquisition of said first profile comprises acquiring at least a first part (301, 302) of the first profile (300) through first profile-acquisition devices (280) arranged according to predetermined positions; •determining a setting for second profile-acquisition devices (278) based on the first profile (300) acquired; •acquiring a second profile (400) of the tyre (2) through the second profile-acquisition devices (278) set according to the respective determined setting; •determining a setting …
