Method for the production of a stack of laminations
In a method for manufacturing lamination stacks of controlled height in a tool, starting material is provided as continuous strip delivered from a coil or as an individual sheet. Laminations are punched from the starting material in several punching steps to a required contour of the laminations. A heat-curing adhesive is applied onto the laminations prior to performing a last punching step. The laminations are combined to a lamination stack. The laminations of the lamination stack are partially or completely heated in a lamination storage. The adhesive is liquefied by heating the lamination stack to build up adhesion and then solidified. Curing the adhesive at the liquefying temperature or solidifying the adhesive in the tool by cooling and subsequently heating the adhesive to a temperature below the liquefying temperature is possible so that the adhesive does not melt but undergoes further curing resulting in higher temperature stability.
1. A method for manufacturing lamination stacks ( 42 ) with a controlled height in a tool ( 13 ), the method comprising:
providing a starting material as a continuous strip delivered from a coil ( 7 ) or as an individual sheet;
punching laminations ( 5 ) from the starting material;
applying an adhesive onto at least one side of the laminations ( 5 ) before a last one of the punching steps is performed;
stacking the laminations ( 5 ) to form a lamination stack in a lamination storage;
liquefying the adhesive by heating the lamination stack to build up adhesion;
solidifying the adhesive by cooling.
2. A method for manufacturing lamination stacks ( 42 ) with a controlled height in a tool ( 13 ), the method comprising:
punching laminations ( 5 ) from a starting material;
applying an adhesive onto the laminations;
liquefying the adhesive by heating to a liquefying temperature so as to build up adhesion that is supported by contact pressure;
curing the adhesive ( 35 ) at the liquefying temperature or solidifying the adhesive in the tool ( 13 ) by cooling and subsequently heating the adhesive to a temperature below the liquefying temperature so that the adhesive does not melt but undergoes a further curing reaction resulting in a higher temperature stability.
