Abstract
Apparatus for forming edgewise wound cores from continuous strip stock of a generally thin ferromagnetic material has a means operable generally at an intermittent rate for lancing the strip stock. The lancing means includes continuous driving means for effecting the operation of the lancing means at its intermittent rate and means operable generally for feeding the strip stock to the lancing means and the continuous strip therefrom concomitantly with the intermittent rate. Means arranged to receive the continuous step from the lancing means is operable continuously for deforming the continuous strip generally edgewise thereof into a plurality of generally helical convolutions. Variable drive means interconnected between the continuous driving means and the deforming means is operable generally for effecting the continuous operation of the deforming means at a variable rate to correlate the intermittent rate at which the continuous strip is fed from the lancing means with the continuous operation of the deforming means. A method of continuously forming edgewise wound cores is also presented.
