Abstract:
A method of manufacturing laminated parts from a plurality of laminas, wherein the laminas for forming the laminated part are blanked from strip stock material and are then stacked to form the laminated part having defined stack parameters, the method comprising the steps of:(a) providing a first pilot hole along a front side of said strip stock material and a second pilot hole along a rear side of said strip stock material;(b) inserting a measuring probe into each of said first and second pilot holes to measure a thickness of said strip stock material along each of said front and rear sides;(c) repeating the measuring step (b) for each of the laminas to determine a thickness difference value; and(d) selectively forming and stacking said individual laminas according to the measured thickness for each of the laminas to form a laminated part substantially according to the defined stacked parameters.
