Abstract
This method of making packets for transformer-core manufacture comprises: (i) providing a composite strip comprising many thin layers of amorphous steel strip, (ii) advancing the leading end of the composite strip forward, (iii) cutting the composite strip at a location spaced rearwardly of the leading edge of the strip, thereby detaching a first section of multi-layer strip and creating a new leading end just behind the cutting location, and (iv) then clamping the detached section to a supporting surface. Then the following steps (a) and (b) are carried out. (a) The new leading end of the composite strip is advanced forward, and the strip is cut at a location spaced rearwardly of the new leading edge, thus detaching an additional section of multi-layer strip and creating another new leading end just behind the latter cutting location. (b) Then, the additional section is advanced over the top of the immediately-preceding detached section, the immediately-preceding detached section is unclamped, and the additional detached section is clamped to the supporting surface atop the immediately-preceding section. Thereafter, steps corresponding to (a) and (b) are repeated with respect to each suceeding new leading end or section until a predetermined number of sections of multi-layer strip have been detached and stacked upon said supporting surface to from a packet.
