  • Patent number: 10063126
    Abstract: There is provided a method for manufacturing a laminated iron core. The method includes receiving a plurality of block iron cores which are temporarily laminated and ejected from a die, each block iron core being formed by laminating a plurality of iron core pieces that are blanked from a thin plate workpiece using the die, individually separating the temporarily laminated block iron cores by a block iron core separating unit, and rotating and laminating each of the separated block iron cores by a rotating and laminating unit in order different from order of lamination of the temporarily laminated block iron cores before separation in a place different from a location of the die.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 6, 2016
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2018
    Assignee: MITSUI HIGH-TEC, INC.
    Inventors: Hidemi Sasaki, Tadashi Shibuta
  • Patent number: 9709508
    Abstract: There is provided a method for inspecting a laminated iron core structured by laminating a plurality of iron core pieces-having a predetermined shape and including therein a cooling flow path allowing refrigerant to flow therethrough, the refrigerant being supplied and discharged through openings formed at different positions. The method includes arranging a light projecting part and a light receiving part of a photosensor in the openings of the cooling flow path, respectively, and detecting light from the light projecting part by the light receiving part to thereby inspect a penetrating state of the cooling flow path.

  • Patent number: 9017497
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing laminated core segments including: a process to blank and laminate, wherein the segment core sheets formed in the adjacent virtual lines are aligned so that directions of the segment core sheets alternate, each of the segment core sheets are blanked and formed by a die device, and the laminated core segments are formed by laminating the blanked segment core sheets in the die device; a process to eject, wherein each of the laminated core segments formed by blanking and laminating in each virtual line is ejected from the die device; and a process to identify a blanking position, wherein the distinguishing marks are provided for the laminated core segments to identify the virtual lines therefor.
