Abstract: A progressive pressing apparatus having multiple pressing stages, each including a gate-shaped supporting frame on which one of a plurality of die sets is detachably and adjustably disposed. The apparatus further includes rails above the pressing stages. Each supporting frame is movable along the rails, and includes a hydraulic cylinder which applies a pressing force to the corresponding die set while extending in the vertical direction. Two opposite upper end portions of each supporting frame are provided with rolling wheels which are capable of rolling along the upper surfaces of the rails. Each supporting frame includes a pair of columns. Each pair of columns is respectively provided with a pair of securing units. Each pair of securing units secures the corresponding supporting frame to a base in a state such that the rolling wheels of the corresponding supporting frame are not in contact with the rails.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and stacking jig for manufacturing a layered core. A stacking jig set at a waiting position is moved upward to a stacking position. Following the stacking jig reaching the stacking position, a second stator-core punch is moved downward so as to punch out a stator-core layer sheet from a metal material. The ring-shaped stator-core layer sheet thus punched out is fit to a cylinder of the stacking jig with a center opening. Furthermore, the stator-core layer sheet is held by the stacking jig with bolt-insertion openings fit to positioning rods. The stator-core layered sheets thus punched out are moved along the punching direction without change so as to be consecutively fit to and stacked on the stacking jig.
