Patent number: 10418175Abstract: Apparatus for aligning magnetic wire aligns magnetic wires on a wire alignment substrate along its base lines, which are positions the magnetic wires are aligned with, with a small interval and without inducing torsional stresses. A microscope is used to detect misplacement between the base line and a reference line that is the magnetic wire taking a form of a straight line under application of tensile force and pulled out by a wire chuck. The misplacement is corrected using a position adjustment device of a substrate attaching base to which the wire alignment substrate is attached. The magnetic wires are temporarily fixed to the wire alignment substrate by magnetic power, and then permanently fixed to the wire alignment substrate using resin while free from the torsional stresses.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: AICHI STEEL CORPORATIONInventor: Katsuhiko Nishihata
