Abstract: A sheet metal blanking die assembly is described. The assembly has a lower and an upper part and guide columns to maintain the parts aligned during the movement of the upper part relative to the lower part. The upper and lower part present flat parallel mutually opposing horizontal portions. The lower flat portion receives the sheet metal, while the upper flat portion presents a plurality of punches projecting downwards from it when the die assembly is closed by the action of a press. Blanking recesses are present in the flat lower portion to receive the respective punches. The die assembly presents a differential rotation device for a blanking unit positioned to correspond with at least one blanking position.

Abstract: A sheet metal blanking die assembly, comprising a lower part, an upper part and guide columns is described. The die assembly upper part and lower part present flat parallel mutually opposing horizontal portions. The lower flat portion is arranged to receive the sheet metal, the upper flat portion presenting a plurality of punches. On the flat lower portion, blanking recesses are present to receive the respective punches and at least one detachment die, below which a brake is present, said brake presenting a through cavity positioned coaxial to that of the detachment die. The brake presents a plurality of contact zones arranged to brake the fall of the individual laminations and possibly to enable the formation of a lamination pack. Means are provided to cool and/or to lubricate just the contact zones between the laminations or the lamination pack and the brake.

Abstract: A sheet metal blanking die has a lower and an upper part and guide columns for maintaining the parts aligned. The upper part presents a plurality of punches which project downwards from it, when the die is closed by a press. Recesses are present on the flat lower portion to receive the respective punches at the moment of blanking. For one punch a rapid replacement device can be provided, including a chamber within which a loader can move presenting two cavities of vertical axis to receive relative punches. By moving the loader a punch can be selected for transfer from a rest position to an operative blanking position.

Abstract: The laminar article for electrical use comprises a plurality of superposed first metal laminations fixed together. Each of the first laminations is provided with at least one fastener projecting from a first surface thereof and defining a recess in its opposite side. Each fastener of one lamination is arranged to fit into a recess of an adjacent lamination. The article presents second laminations interposed between at least two adjacent first laminations fixed together. The second laminations are provided with through apertures which are traversed by the fasteners which fix the adjacent first laminations together. The method consists of die-cutting a plurality of laminations from a metal sheet, rotating the die-cut laminations and superposing them, to then fix them together in predetermined manner.

Abstract: An electrical machine circuit element (1) comprises a flat metal sheet (2) provided with a plurality of slots (3) for an electric and/or cooling circuit. The elements (1) presents a plurality of clips (5) which project from the flat metal sheet (2) and a plurality of seats (7) to receive and retain clips (5) of other elements (1), in such a manner as to connect several elements together. Each clip (5) projects from one face of the metal sheet (2) and defines a seat (7) on the opposite face. The clips (5) present an edge (11) facing into the slots (3).

Abstract: A device for constructing a laminated article, in particular for electrical use, having mutually superposed metal laminations provided with elements or clips for connecting the laminations together. The clips project from the surface of the laminations and are formed by deforming the laminations. The laminations include cavities, each arranged to house a clip, whereby the cavities and clips constitute coupling elements of male-female type. The clips are punched from a metal strip in a first station, die-cut and stacked in a second station and coupling cavities are formed in a third station which may be the same as the first station.

Abstract: A laminated article in particular for electrical use including mutually superposed metal laminations provided with elements or clips for connecting the laminations together. The clips project from a surface of the laminations and are formed by deforming the laminations. The laminations include cavities angularly spaced apart from the clips. Each cavity is arranged to receive a respective clip from an adjacent lamination such that the laminations are coupled together via the clips and cavities. The cavities and clips constitute separate coupling elements of male-female type. The cavities are preferably through cavities extending from one planar surface of the lamination to an opposed planar surface.
