A nonmagnetic insulating metal oxide powder is made to adhere to a surface of a soft magnetic metal ribbon having an amorphous structure; this is wound in annular fashion and made into a wound body at which the metal oxide powder intervenes between ribbon layers; the wound body is made to undergo heat treatment in a nonoxidizing atmosphere; the wound body is thereafter subjected to treatment for formation of an oxide film in an oxidizing atmosphere adjusted to be at a temperature lower than that at the heat treatment to cause oxidation of the surface of the soft magnetic metal ribbon; and spaces between ribbon layers at the wound body are moreover impregnated with resin and curing is carried out to fuse the metal oxide powder thereto.

A machine for processing a continuous semi- processed product (W), comprising a feeding unit (10), a processing unit (21, 22, 23), and a terminal cutting unit (30) past which processed segments (M) of the semi-processed product (W) are producible, which width (LI, L2, L3) is correlated to the feed step. The feeding unit (10) is automatically adjustable in the feed step. The machine further comprises actuators (21a, 22a, 23a) configured to adjust the position of the processing unit along the feed direction (A) of the semi-processed product (W), and a control system (40) configured to read input instructions relating to a series of consecutive segments to be produced, determine the required position of the processing unit (21, 22, 23) as a function of the input instructions, and determine the required feed step as a function of the input instructions.
