Abstract:
A method for producing a magnetic head in which first and second core halves are joined together, comprising the steps of:a) providing first and second substrates in which the core halves are formed;b) forming in each substrate a winding coil groove extending in a first direction;c) forming in each substrate a glass filling groove also extending in said first direction parallel to said winding coil groove;d) forming in each substrate track width adjusting grooves extending in a second direction perpendicular to said first direction said track width adjusting grooves defining therebetween a width of the resulting head gap, said track width adjusting grooves being separated by a track width adjusting projection, said track width adjusting projection having oppositely facing sloped side walls which slope toward an apex having a thickness of at least H.sub.1 at a gap width forming surface thereof;e) forming in each substrate first and second position adjusting grooves in said second direction adjacent to one of said track width adjusting grooves, said first position adjusting groove being defined on one side by said track width adjusting projection separating said first position adjusting groove from said one track width adjusting groove and on another side by a first position adjusting projection having vertical side walls and a thickness H.sub.3, said second position adjusting groove being defined on one side by said first position adjusting projection and on another side by a second position adjusting projection having vertical side walls and a thickness H.sub.2 ;f) joining together said substrates such that said glass filling grooves and winding coils are in registry and such that said first position adjusting groove in the first substrate is aligned with one of said track width adjusting grooves in the second substrate and said second position adjusting groove in the first substrate is aligned said first position adjusting groove in the second substrate and so that said first position adjusting projection in the first substrate is in alignment with said track width adjusting projections of the second substrate and said second position adjusting projection in the first substrate is in alignment with the first position adjusting projection of the second substrate.
