Abstract:
1. A method for producing an insulated wire having a cross section of a desired shape, in which a conductor having a cross section of a desired shape is coated with an insulating film, comprising the steps of: supplying a raw conductor while passing through a rolling unit composed of at least one pair of rolling rolls that are capable of freely rotating without a drive mechanism that have a desired shape, thereby forming a conductor having a cross section of a desired shape; annealing said conductor by routing said conductor through an annealer; coating the conductor with an insulating film by routing the conductor having the cross section of the desired shape through a coating apparatus; and wherein the insulated wire having the cross section of the desired shape is produced in a continuous manner from an uninsulated wire stock without interrupting the production process to store partially produced wire for a period of time prior to routing the wire to the next step in the production process.
