Abstract
In a method for manufacturing laminates comprising a plurality of continuously formed component members having different cross-sectional shapes, a long-sized workpiece is indexed in the longitudinal direction, the component members having outside contours corresponding to each of the cross-sectional shapes of the laminate are formed with non-separating indentation, with at least part of the outside contours left unseparated from the workpiece, and the component members are sequentially punched out and laminated into one piece in the final stage of indexing of the workpiece.
