N2 - The deep knowledge about manufacturing processes, as well as their optimization, present themselves as indispensable factors in the search for the best product quality. It is this point of view of continuous improvement that makes companies in profitable and sustainable way. This paper presents a study about unwinding tension of textile cords in the cap ply manufacturing process, using machines called cap-strips for production. In this work, tension can be understood as the tensile force exerted on the cord. This study determines the influence of unwinding tension on the physical and shrinkage properties of the cord, as well as on the properties of cap ply, namely green adhesion and peel adhesion. Furthermore, the impact of cord tension on tire uniformity and the manufacturing process itself was also studied. All conclusions are based on the performed experiments and the execution of statistical tests. This work allows to conclude that the unwinding tension of the textile cords have some impact on the cap ply properties but have no influence on the tire uniformity.
