  • Patent number: 11355282
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a laminated iron core includes conveying a sheet steel strip in an intermittent manner in a lift up state, with upward movement of the strip being limited by a guiding member provided on a lower holder; punching an outer shape of each iron core laminae; and applying adhesive agent to a surface of the strip before the punching. The adhesive agent is applied in a state in which a pilot pin is inserted in a pilot hole of the strip and when the strip is about to be pressed against or is being pressed against the die plate by a stripper provided on an upper holder. After application of the adhesive agent, the strip is returned to the lift up state by raising the upper holder, with a lifter and the stripper plate being in abutment with the lower and upper surfaces of the strip, respectively.

  • Patent number: 8108988
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a laminated iron core using a die, includes punching out iron core pieces from a thin steel sheet material by a first working row, each piece having a spindle hole and a plurality of slot holes of a given configuration. Electrically insulating sheet pieces are punched out from an electrically insulating thin sheet material by a second working row, each piece having a spindle hole and a plurality of slot holes with a configuration similar to, but smaller than, the slot holes of the iron core pieces. Thereafter, the iron core pieces and electrically insulating sheet pieces are stacked such that edges of the slot holes of the electrically insulating sheet pieces extend outwardly beyond edges of the slot holes of the iron core pieces.
