Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing lamellas (20) from sheet metal (30) for a stack of such lamellas (20), i.e. a lamination, such as the core of a transformer or of a rotor or a stator of an electric machine. According to the present invention, in a first manufacturing step (A), the individual lamellas (20) are only partly cut loose from the sheet material (30), while connecting tabs (32) are left between the lamellas (20) and a remaining frame part (31) of the sheet material (30). As a result, the lamellas (20) can be subsequently processed (SP) separately, favorably without requiring the individual and/or direct handling thereof. Only thereafter, in second manufacturing step according to the present invention (B), the lamellas (20) are completely cut loose from the frame part (31) of the sheet material (30) by cutting the said connecting tabs (32) there between.

Abstract: An inspection method is provided for checking the integrity of a combination of a security marking and an identification label, the security marking including at least one contrast field having a comparatively high reflectivity in a first and a second wavelength range, and a security field, having different reflection properties in the first wavelength range compared to the second wavelength range, and the identification label having at least one light background around mark components printed with dark color. The inspection method may include capturing possibly averaged gray values of the contrast field and the identification label background, comparing the gray values, and determining whether the gray value of the contrast field of the security marking deviates from the gray value of the background of the identification label by less than a predefined maximum amount.
