APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING THREE-DIMENSIONAL LAMINATED SHAPES FOR FIELD POLE STRUCTURES

摘要

A method for constructing a three-dimensional laminated shape includes selecting a first lamination strip from a plurality of lamination strips with different widths assembled on a spool. The first lamination strip is stacked on a stacking device and is cut at a first length. A second lamination strip is selected from the spool and is stacked and cut at a second length different than the first length. The process is repeated to construct a three-dimensional laminated shape of an electrodynamic device. In another embodiment, a computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to collect design information characterizing a three-dimensional laminated shape and compute lamination parameters based thereon. The medium further includes instructions to direct a plurality of components to construct a three-dimensional laminated shape of an electrodynamic device using the parameters. The three-dimensional laminated shape comprises a plurality of strips of different widths and lengths.
