Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus for annealing alloy ribbon, the apparatus comprising: an unwinder unwinding an alloy ribbon from a spool of the alloy ribbon; a heating member comprising a first flat surface, on which the alloy ribbon unwound by the unwinder runs while contacting the first flat surface, the heating member heating the alloy ribbon running while contacting the first flat surface through the first flat surface; a cooling member comprising a second flat surface, on which the alloy ribbon heated by the heating member runs while contacting the second flat surface, the cooling member cooling the alloy ribbon running while contacting the second flat surface through the second flat surface; and a winder winding the alloy ribbon cooled by the cooling member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for annealing alloy ribbon, the apparatus comprising: an unwinder unwinding an alloy ribbon from a spool of the alloy ribbon; a heating member comprising a first flat surface, on which the alloy ribbon unwound by the unwinder runs while contacting the first flat surface, the heating member heating the alloy ribbon running while contacting the first flat surface through the first flat surface; a cooling member comprising a second flat surface, on which the alloy ribbon heated by the heating member runs while contacting the second flat surface, the cooling member cooling the alloy ribbon running while contacting the second flat surface through the second flat surface; and a winder winding the alloy ribbon cooled by the cooling member; wherein a sucking structure sucking the alloy ribbon is provided at at least one of the first flat surface of the heating member or the second flat surface of the cooling member. 2. The apparatus for annealing alloy ribbon according to claim 1 , wherein the heating member is housed in a heating chamber. 3. The apparatus for annealing alloy ribbon according to claim 1 , wherein the sucking structure comprises an opening. 4. The apparatus for annealing alloy ribbon according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the heating member or the cooling member is divided into plural portions in an alloy ribbon running direction. 5. The apparatus for annealing alloy ribbon according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of the heating member or the cooling member is divided into plural portions in an alloy ribbon running direction. 6. The apparatus for annealing alloy ribbon according to claim 1 , further comprising a tension adjuster adjusting tension of the alloy ribbon during heating by the heating member.
