Abstract:
A method and a system for producing a ring-shaped member. A punching process is carried out on an axial intermediate part of a first intermediate annular material so as to produce a pair of ring-shaped members. A punching step includes a step in which a first punching process is carried out over a first range of the axial intermediate part in the circumferential direction, and a step in which a second punching process is carried out over a second range of the axially-oriented intermediate part, which is at least partially different than the first range, in the circumferential direction. The first punching process is carried out such that at least one tab is formed. The second punching process is carried out such that at least one separate tab is formed, thereby producing the pair of ring-shaped members.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of manufacturing a ring-shaped member for a vehicle, the method comprising:\n punching out an axial intermediate portion of a ring-shaped workpiece entirely in a circumferential direction so that a first ring-shaped member and a second ring-shaped member each having at least one claw piece are formed, wherein the punching step comprises:\n performing a first punching process on a first region of the intermediate portion in the circumferential direction; and \n performing a second punching process on a second region of the intermediate portion which is at least partially different from the first region in the circumferential direction.
