Abstract: The invention proposes a method of producing induction components each containing a coil, wherein the coils are wound on a wire-winding plate, containing a multiplicity of wire-winding stubs arranged in rows and columns, using a wire which is continuous for a plurality of coils. The template provided with the coils is then pressed in a molding press with ferromagnetic substrate powder, which embeds the coils. Once the template has been removed, the interiors of the coils are provided with substrate powder, and pressed, once again in a molding press. Electrical contact is then made with the connections and the block is divided up into individual induction components each containing a coil.

Abstract: The invention proposes a method of producing induction components. A plurality of coils are embedded, with predetermined orientation of the coil ends, in a block made of in particular pulverulent substrate. The block is positioned on a plate having a marking for each coil. The combination made up of block and plate is pressed. The winding ends are exposed by milling and provided with contacts. The block is then sawn up mechanically into individual elements each containing a coil.

At least one first clamping element is arranged on one or both longitudinal sides of the circuit board and/or at least one second clamping element is arranged in the trench. As a result, the circuit board received by the trench is fixed in the trench in a clearance-free fashion.

Abstract: A retaining facility for clearance-free fixing of a printed circuit board onto a one-dimensional curved surface is provided. In the direction of curvature of the one-dimensional curved surface, a tensile or compressive force acts on the printed circuit board or on at least one first connection device connected to the latter, with the printed circuit board being bent and pressed onto the curved surface. In this way the printed circuit board is held solidly and with little vibration on the surface even when acted on by centrifugal forces.

For an adjustment, a deviation of a light beam from the rotation axis is determined by means of two detectors at different distances, and from this a positional deviation and also a tilt of the light beam is calculated and suitably compensated.
