Subsequently, the individual strips are inserted into each other at the incisions. The nesting is done so that in the region of the double webs a connection is formed, which does not arise by gluing, but only by overlapping between two incisions. The incisions are arranged so that the nesting of the individual strips can be carried out successively by inserting each of the same side. Thus, this process can be carried out as a continuous manufacturing process.
- the use of adhesive can be completely dispensed with.
- the strips can be detached from each other again at any time.
- the strips can be fixed in the further processing solely by the handling of the expandable honeycomb core by the honeycomb core is stored or guided on a flat surface.
- honeycomb core If an increased handling of the honeycomb core is required for processing, can be done by a single punctual adhesive application per strip fixing against the slipping of the strips to each other. Such a fixation can also be done by a mechanical hooking of the strips, for example in the form of stamped elevations.
- Circular blade on a knife shaft wherein the longitudinal sections are the later
- adjacent webs overlap in the region of the double webs, and thus virtually creates an "endless" expandable honeycomb core.
- the expandable honeycomb core may be expanded and formed into a plate-shaped or three-dimensionally shaped one
- Sandwich composite be further processed.
- the inventive method allows a continuous production and a reduction of material and manufacturing costs.
- the properties of the honeycomb core are those of a conventionally manufactured

- FIG. 1 an expanded honeycomb core 1 is shown.
- the honeycomb core consists of individual strips 2, which consist of paper, plastic, aluminum or other sheet-like materials.
- the strips are connected by alternately following double webs 4 and simple webs 3 with each other.
- When pulling in the Expansion direction (arrow) forms a honeycomb-like structure, which is shown purely schematically in the drawing.
- the achievement of a more or less pronounced hexagonal geometry depends on the stability and formability of the materials used and their preparation.
- Fig. 2 shows a section of an expanded honeycomb core. Shown is a hexagonal honeycomb with adjacent honeycomb parts. The strips 2 extend substantially transversely to the direction of expansion (arrow direction).
- the strip 2.3 lying approximately in the middle of the picture begins at the upper edge of the picture in the area of a double bridge. In the course of the lower edge of the picture, the strip 2.3 crosses the strip 2.4 on the right. The sides of the two strips 2.3 and 2.4 are adjacent to each other. For level crossing (crossing point 5.1) of strip 2.3 with the right-hand strip 2.4 the incision 5 shown is provided. Thereafter, the strip 2.3 goes over into a simple web 3.
- the strip 2.3 and the right adjacent strip 2.6 intersect and form with this by overlapping a double web 4.
- the said double web 4 extends to the intersection 5.3.
- an incision 5 is again shown.
- Such an incision 5 is located both in the strip 2.3 and in the strip 2.6, so that at the intersection 5.3 both strips can again be inserted at the same level and loosely into one another.
- the strip 2.3 again forms a simple web, just as the strip 2.6 forms a simple web.
- the strip 2.3 merges with the strip 2.4 at the crossing point 5.4 in the double edge of the picture at the bottom of the picture.

This pattern can be clarified by a division of the longitudinal sections 8 in columns and rows, wherein for simplicity, a pair of adjacent in the transport direction longitudinal sections 8 should be considered. In other words, two equally long side-by-side longitudinal sections form a pair.
- the columns run in the transport direction of the material web 7.
- the lines are transverse to the transport direction.
- a pair of longitudinal sections 8 delimits a column.
- the next pair of longitudinal sections 8 is arranged offset in the transport direction of the material web 7 by one line. Between two columns formed by pairs of longitudinal sections 8, an offset gap is provided, in which no longitudinal cuts are made.
- the width of the longitudinal section pair column and the width of the offset column determines the geometry of the honeycomb core to be produced.
- the line height is determined by the desired width of the strips 2.
- the distance of the longitudinal sections of a pair ie the width of the longitudinal section pair column and the width of the offset column is chosen to be the same size in the embodiment, resulting in a geometry as in Fig. 1 and in Fig. 2.
- strips 2 are separated from the web 7.
- the guided transversely to the web 7 section thereby cuts through the longitudinal cuts 8 each centrally. This ensures that the strips 2 have cuts 5, which correspond to the successive and abutting strips.
- a lying between the sipes 5 section 9 of a strip 2 forms in the subsequent honeycomb core 1 a double bridge 4.
- the areas 10 left and right of these sections 9 form in the later honeycomb core simple webs.
- the sections 9 between the incisions 5 are raised on the trailing edge 12 lying in the direction of transport.
- the lying in the transport direction at a front edge 11 sections 9 between the sipes 5 are lowered.
