The EI-150 automatic lamination stacking machine inserts E & I silicon steel laminations into transformer coil bobbins under PLC control. Built for 2000-5000 VA cores, it holds ±0.1 mm stacking accuracy at speeds up to 250 stacks per minute, producing the large, tightly compressed cores that power and distribution transformers depend on for their declared efficiency.
In a large transformer, no-load loss runs every hour of the unit's service life - often 15 to 20 years. That makes the core the most consequential part of the design: a stack with uneven compression or misaligned laminations raises no-load loss, and the finished unit can miss the efficiency class it was designed to meet. Because the penalty is paid continuously rather than once, small stacking defects compound into a large lifetime energy cost, and into a compliance risk when the transformer is tested against its declared values. The EI-150 controls what manual stacking cannot: identical placement of every lamination, identical compression force on every stack, and a counted, verifiable lamination quantity.

✅ Stable Effective Air Gap – ±0.1 mm stacking accuracy holds the air gap steady, so no-load current and core loss stay inside the designed range.
✅ ±0.02 mm Positioning – Tight E & I alignment limits burrs and edge misalignment that locally saturate the core and raise loss.
✅ Uniform Stack Compression – Consistent stacking force avoids the loose stacks that are a common hidden cause of high no-load loss.
✅ Controlled Lamination Count – The PLC counts every sheet, so each core carries exactly the lamination quantity its design specifies.
✅ Smooth Lamination Handling – Preserves the insulation coating on 0.3 mm, 0.35 mm and 0.5 mm silicon steel, limiting eddy-current loss.
✅ Large-Core Capability – Handles 2000-5000 VA cores with the same repeatability it delivers on small formats.
✅ Automatic Jam Detection – The PLC stops the cycle on a misfeed before material or tooling is damaged.
✅ Durable and Safe – High-strength steel frame, dual grounding, overload and short-circuit protection, emergency stop and safety guards.
Sized for 2000-5000 VA cores, the EI-150 suits manufacturers of power and distribution transformers, industrial control and isolation transformers, inverter and UPS transformers, welding and rectifier transformers, and heavy-duty power supplies. Both cardboard and plastic bobbins are supported, and the machine works as a standalone station or inside a larger winding and assembly line.
