Abstract Manufacture of layer capacitors wherein several parent windings are wound on top of each other on a drum with separating layers of plastic wound-in between parent windings. The plastic material protrudes from the face surfaces of the parent windings. The face surfaces are covered with a sprayed metal layer. The parts protruding over the sprayed metal layer are removed before dividing the so-formed starting capacitor. The starting capacitor is opened by at least one radial cut, and divided along the parting lines into single parent capacitors. The parent capacitors or parts of the parent capacitors are sawed to form individual capacitors. The separating layers are made of plastic bands which, after the completion of the starting capacitor are brittle, at least in the regions which protrude from the sprayed metal layer. The protruding parts are brushed away, and the separating layers are removed after the division into single parent capacitors.
In a method for the manufacture of layer capacitors which comprises winding a plurality of parent capacitors on a drum with one capacitor on top of the other, separating the parent capacitors from one another by wound-in separating layers of plastic material which protrude from face surfaces of the parent windings, completely covering the faces of the thus-formed starting capacitor with a sprayed metal layer, removing the parts protruding over the sprayed metal layers of the separating layers before dividing the thus-formed starting capacitor, opening said starting capacitor by at least one radial cut, and dividing said starting capacitor into single parent capacitors, the improvement comprising employing as said separating layers foils of celluloseaceto-butyrate which, after the completion of the starting capacitor are brittle, at least in the regions which protrude from the sprayed metal layer, brushing away said brittle protruding parts of the separating layers by means of a rotating cup-type brush, and removing the separating layers after the division into single parent capacitors.
