Method and device for producing a stator body of an axial flux machine, and axial flux machine

A method for producing a stator body of an axial flux machine, wherein the method comprises:

• providing a sheet metal strip and a punch unit,
• punching out portions of sheet metal at defined longitudinal positions from the sheet metal strip by the punch unit in such a way that the sheet metal strip has recesses, and
• rolling up the sheet metal strip having the recesses in such a way that the recesses are located at defined angular positions in the roll of the sheet metal strip and recesses arranged at common angular positions form linear grooves running in a radial direction, wherein
• at least one recess is created by a first punch stroke and a second punch stroke in such a way that a first boundary edge defining the at least one recess along a longitudinal direction of the sheet metal strip is created with the first punch stroke, a second boundary edge defining the at least one recess along the longitudinal direction of the sheet metal strip is created with the second punch stroke, and both the first and second boundary edges are at a greater distance from one another along the longitudinal direction of the sheet metal strip than at least one further recess in the sheet metal strip.
