Patent ID: 6868300

Claim:
An apparatus for assembling a laminated ring of a plurality of laminated endless ring components, comprising: component data managing means for storing component data including size data representative of at least respective circumferential length values of a plurality of ring components prepared for each of layers of said laminated ring; combinatorial trial calculation means for variably setting a plurality of kinds of combinatorial conditions to assemble the ring components for all the layers of said laminated ring, and performing combinatorial trial calculations to combine the component data of the layers stored by said component data managing means based on each of the plurality of kinds of combinatorial conditions to generate lamination combinatorial data representing combined component data of all the layers matching the combinatorial conditions; combinatorial condition determining means for evaluating the number of said lamination combinatorial data obtained by said combinatorial trial calculations under said plurality of kinds of combinatorial conditions and determining a combinatorial condition which maximizes said number as an adequate combinatorial condition; and ring component selecting means for selecting ring components of the respective layers to assemble said laminated ring from said lamination combinatorial data under said adequate combinatorial condition; whereby said laminated ring can be assembled of the ring components selected by said ring component selecting means.
