Abstract

An apparatus and a method for inserting a non-round circular-blank core into a non-round hole of a circular-blank ring to create a circular blank. A transporting device transports the circular-blank ring to an insertion location. A feed device transports the circular-blank core to the insertion location. The circular-blank core is positioned on the hole of the circular-blank ring and inserted into the hole with the aid of a pushing-in device, which applies a pushing-in force. If the non-round hole is not in alignment with the non-round circular-blank core, the circular-blank core and the circular-blank ring are rotated relative to one another at the insertion location by generation of the pushing-in force. The circular-blank ring is preferably moved, by the pushing-in force, onto an alignment mandrel, which causes the circular-blank ring to rotate in its circumferential direction until the contours of the circular-blank core and of the hole are in alignment.
