US Patent 7103964 Method of manufacturing a circuit for an electrical machine

A method of manufacturing a magnetic circuit for an electrical machine, the method comprising:using a cutting station to cut out at least one strip of sectors that are interconnected by deformable connections; andusing a winding station to wind the strip of sectors around a mandrel;wherein, between the cutting station and the winding station, there is a zone configured to enable the strip to deform so as to compensate for a difference in speed between a speed of the strip at an outlet from the cutting station and its speed at an inlet to the winding station.
