Abstract
The method makes it possible to manufacture an assembly (A) comprising a layer (C) of metal filamentary elements (14) wound in a helix. The method comprises a step (100) of supplying a temporary assembly (22) comprising a layer (13) of M′>1 metal filamentary elements (14) and a temporary centre (16), and a step (110) of separating the temporary assembly (22) between a first split assembly (25), a second split assembly (27) and the temporary centre (16). The method comprises a step (140) of reassembling the first split assembly (25) with the second split assembly (27) so as to form the layer (C) of the assembly (A).
Claims7
A method of manufacturing a final assembly comprising at least one layer made up of N′>1 helically wound metal filamentary elements, the method comprising:
- a step of supplying a transitory assembly comprising at least one layer made up of M′>1 metal filamentary elements helically wound around a transitory core;
- and
- a step of separating the transitory assembly into at least:
- a first split assembly comprising at least one layer made up of M1′>1 helically wound metal filamentary elements, the M1′ metal filamentary element originating from the layer made up of M′>1 metal filamentary elements of the transitory assembly,
- a second split assembly comprising at least one layer made up of M2′>1 helically wound metal filamentary elements, the M2′ metal filamentary elements originating from the layer made up of M′>1 metal filamentary elements of the transitory assembly, and
- the transitory core or one or more ensembles comprising the transitory core;
- and
- a step of reassembling at least the first split assembly with the second split assembly to form the layer made up of N′ helically wound metal filamentary elements,
- wherein the separation step and the reassembly step are performed such that M1′+M2′<M′.
