Abstract
A method of continuously forming edgewise wound cores. A continuous strip of ferromagnetic material is fed to a winding station and through a means operable generally for severing the continuous strip, and the continuous formation of the edgewise wound cores is effected at the winding station from the continuous strip fed thereto. The thickness of the continuous strip is measured along the length of the continuous strip fed to the winding station, and the thickness measurements are summed. The summation of the thickness measurements are compared with a preselected value corresponding to a predetermined stack height for each of the edgewise wound cores formed at the winding station, and the severing means is operated to sever the continuous strip at least generally when the summation of the thickness measurements attains the preselected value thereby to terminate the formation of respective ones of the edgewise wound cores at the winding station. Apparatus for continuously forming edgewise wound cores is also disclosed.
