Abstract:
Current machines and methods for making sets of a plurality of magnetic ribbon for distribution transformer cores are disadvantageous because complicated feeding means, a complicated indexing transport system, and manual transport between the set forming and nesting locations are required. The present invention responds to the need in the art by providing a machine comprising: (a) means for feeding and cutting a plurality of magnetic ribbons to form a group; and (b) means for assembling a plurality of groups by moving all formed groups of the current assembly from the cutting means by an index distance. The present invention also provides a method of making sets of a plurality of magnetic ribbons for use in distribution transformer cores.
