  • Patent number: 8393070
    Abstract: The production line according to the present invention is provided with a pressurization measurement apparatus adjacent to a press-working apparatus, a temporary laminate assembly worked and laminated by a press in the press-working apparatus is sent to the pressurization measurement apparatus, and a laminate assembly is produced by being pressurized and being subjected to regular caulking by a hydraulic servo press of the pressurization measurement apparatus. At this time, the lamination height of a regularly caulked laminate assembly is measured by a linear scale secured at the pressurization measurement apparatus.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7168158
    Abstract: The stacked core assembly apparatus, which can perform assembly at a high speed while keeping strength of an angle indexing apparatus, comprises a press machine 1, a non-synchronous transmitting apparatus 10 and an angle indexing apparatus 7. The non-synchronous transmitting apparatus 10 transforms a constant revolution of the press machine 1 into a variable revolution. The angle indexing apparatus 7 is connected to the non-synchronous transmitting apparatus 10 via a coupling device 20, and is connected to a rotatably stacking cavity device 51 of a press die 5. An accelerated rotational speed period of an output shaft 13 of the non-synchronous transmitting apparatus 10 is set during a Feeding-Phase period of time of the press machine 1, and thereby, a rotational state completion of a driving shaft 33 of the angle indexing apparatus 7 completes earlier than the Feeding-Phase period of time completion of the press machined 1 so that a non-rotating period of time can be provided.

  • Publication number: 20030062133
    Abstract: In order to set a rotating angle in a laminating station to an arbitrary angle, and to perform a high-speed operation while keeping the strength of an angle index head, a laminated core machining apparatus M comprises a press machine 1, a non-uniform motion head 10, an angle index head 7 and a gear system 6. That is, the non-uniform motion head 10 converts a drive of the press machine 1 from a uniform rotation into a non-uniform rotation. The angle index head 7 is connected to the non-uniform motion head 10 via a coupling 20. The gear system 6 is connected to the angle index head 7 while being connected to a rotary driving section of a laminating station 51 of a die 5. In the laminating station 51, an intermittent rotation is made by the angle index head 7, and the rotating angle is arbitrarily set by the combination of four kinds of gears included in the gear system 6. Further, a stop period (section) is provided by the non-uniform motion head 10 before a feed timing of the press machine is completed.
