ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for accumulating and separating laminations including a lamination storage area; a magnetic fanner arrangement for accumulating and magnetically separating the laminations; a transport mechanism; and a mechanical agitation mechanism. The transport mechanism transports at least one lamination from the lamination storage area to the magnetic fanner arrangement and the mechanical agitation mechanism is in communication with the magnetic fanner arrangement and provides a physical agitation to the magnetic fanner arrangement. The magnetic fanner arrangement includes a mounting plate; at least a first and second magnetic pole piece assembly fixedly mounted opposite one from the other and substantially perpendicularly to the mounting plate defining a space therebetween, the space being generally U-shaped, in plan view, having a back wall formed by the mounting plate and a pair of side walls formed by the first and second magnetic pole piece assemblies, the space being used for accumulating the laminations; and a magnetic field generated by the first and second magnetic pole piece assembly polarizing the laminations accumulated within the space and causing the laminations to magnetically repel each other and become physically separated.
