Abstract

A method for manufacturing a laminated body includes: laminating an electromagnetic steel plate to form the laminated body; performing an annealing process on the laminated body; acquiring a before-annealing lamination thickness information on a thickness of the laminated body before performing the annealing process on the laminated body; and when the before-annealing lamination thickness information does not satisfy a before-annealing criterion which is predetermined, adjusting a lamination condition of the electromagnetic steel plate such that the before-annealing lamination thickness information satisfies the before-annealing criterion.

Claims (42)

repeatedly laminating electromagnetic steel plates to form a laminated body under a predetermined lamination condition;

performing an annealing process on the laminated body;

acquiring a before-annealing lamination thickness information on a thickness of the laminated body before performing the annealing process on the laminated body; and

in an occurrence that the before-annealing lamination thickness information of the laminated body does not satisfy a before-annealing criterion which is predetermined, changing a lamination condition of a following laminated body formed subsequent to the laminated body such that a before-annealing lamination thickness information of the following laminated body satisfies the before-annealing criterion, wherein

the before-annealing criterion that is predetermined is set in advance based on a relationship between before-annealing lamination thickness information and after-annealing lamination thickness information for previous laminated bodies that correspond to specified thicknesses of the previous laminated bodies before and after annealing that are acquired previously, and wherein

the following laminated body is formed by repeatedly laminating electromagnetic steel plates of the following laminated body.

2. The method for manufacturing a laminated body according to claim 1 , further comprising: in the occurrence that the before-annealing lamination thickness information of the laminated body does not satisfy the before-annealing criterion which is predetermined, a conveyance mode for conveying the laminate body is changed from a normal mode to a removal mode so as to remove the laminated body.

3. A method for manufacturing a laminated body, comprising:

repeatedly laminating electromagnetic steel plates to form a laminated body under a predetermined lamination condition;

performing an annealing process on the laminated body;

acquiring a before-annealing lamination thickness information on a thickness of the laminated body before performing the annealing process on the laminated body; and

in an occurrence that the before-annealing lamination thickness information of the laminated body does not satisfy a before-annealing criterion which is predetermined, changing a lamination condition of a following laminated body formed subsequent to the laminated body such that a before-annealing lamination thickness information of the following laminated body satisfies the before-annealing criterion, wherein

the following laminated body is formed by repeatedly laminating electromagnetic steel plates of the following laminated body,

wherein the before-annealing lamination thickness information includes a before-annealing pressed state information of indicating the thickness of the laminated body in a state where the laminated body is pressed in a laminating direction of the electromagnetic steel plates, and a before-annealing no-load state information of indicating the thickness of the laminated body in a state where the laminated body is not pressed,

wherein the before-annealing criterion includes a before-annealing pressed state criterion and a before-annealing no-load criterion which are predetermined, and

wherein in an occurrence that at least one of a case where the before-annealing pressed state information of the laminated body does not satisfy the before-annealing pressed state criterion and a case where the before-annealing no-load state information of the laminated body does not satisfy a before-annealing no-load state criterion, the lamination condition of the following laminated body is changed such that the before-annealing pressed state information of the following laminated body and the before-annealing no-load state information of the following laminated body satisfy the before-annealing pressed state criterion and the before-annealing no-load state criterion, respectively.
