Abstract
The method enables the production of a final assembly (A) comprising two layers and comprises a step (100) of providing a temporary assembly (AT) comprising a temporary core (NT), a step (124) of separating the temporary assembly (AT) into a first divided assembly (AFI), a second divided assembly (AF2), a third divided assembly (AF3) and the temporary core (NT). The method comprises a step (135) of reassembling the first divided assembly (AFI), the second divided assembly (AF2) and the third divided assembly (AF3) to form the final assembly (A).

A method for producing a final assembly comprising at least two layers comprising an inner layer C1 composed of C1′>1 helically wound metallic filamentary elements and an outer layer C2 composed of C2′>1 metallic filamentary elements helically wound around the inner layer C1, the method comprising:
- a step of providing a temporary assembly comprising at least two layers comprising an inner layer A1 composed of A1′>1 metallic filamentary elements helically wound around a temporary core and an outer layer A2 composed of A2′>1 metallic filamentary elements helically wound around the inner layer A1;
- a step of separating the temporary assembly into at least:
- a first split assembly comprising at least one layer D1 composed of D1′≥1 helically wound metallic filamentary elements, the D1’ metallic filamentary elements being derived from the inner layer A1 composed of A1′>1 metallic filamentary elements of the temporary assembly,
- a second split assembly comprising at least one layer comprising a layer E2 composed of E2′≥1 helically wound metallic filamentary elements, the E2’ metallic filamentary elements being derived from the outer layer A2 composed of A2′>1 metallic filamentary elements of the temporary assembly (AT),
- a third split assembly comprising at least one layer F2 composed of F2′≥1 helically wound metallic filamentary elements, the F2′ metallic filamentary elements being derived from the outer layer A2 composed of A2′>1 metallic filamentary elements of the temporary assembly, and
- the temporary core or one or more assemblages comprising the temporary core;
- and
- a step of reassembling at least the first split assembly, the second split assembly and the third split assembly to form the final assembly.
An installation for producing a final assembly comprising at least two layers comprising an inner layer C1 composed of Cl′>1 helically wound metallic filamentary elements and an outer layer C2 composed of C2′>1 metallic filamentary elements helically wound around the inner layer C1, the installation comprising:
- means for providing a temporary assembly comprising at least two layers comprising an inner layer A1 composed of A1′>1 metallic filamentary elements helically wound around a temporary core and an outer layer A2 composed of A2′>1 metallic filamentary elements helically wound around the inner layer A1;
- means for separating the temporary assembly into at least:
- a first split assembly comprising at least one layer D1 composed of D1′≥1 helically wound metallic filamentary elements, the D1′ metallic filamentary elements being derived from the inner layer A1 composed of A1′>1 metallic filamentary elements of the temporary assembly,
- a second split assembly comprising at least one layer comprising a layer E2 composed of E2′≥1 helically wound metallic filamentary elements, the E2’ metallic filamentary elements being derived from the outer layer A2 composed of A2′>1 metallic filamentary elements of the temporary assembly,
- a third split assembly comprising at least one layer F2 composed of F2′≥1 helically wound metallic filamentary elements, the F2′ metallic filamentary elements being derived from the outer layer A2 composed of A2′>1 metallic filamentary elements of the temporary assembly, and
- the temporary core or one or more assemblages comprising the temporary core;
- and
- means for reassembling at least the first split assembly, the second split assembly and the third split assembly to form the final assembly.
