FIELD: mechanical engineering; catalytic converters.
SUBSTANCE: invention contains description of method of manufacture of cellular member with preset number (n) of metal sheet layers which are made from metal strip wound off at least one coil and least part of which is at least partially profiled metal sheets whose profile structure provides possibility of flow of liquid medium through cellular member which accommodates common free space of preset volume for sensor. According to proposed method, section of metal strip wound off coil is chosen to get metal sheet of corresponding dimensions, identificator is assigned to metal sheet according to which data are read off from memory concerning position of at least one of holes made in said metal sheet and on its outline. Before proceeding with manufacture of cellular member, at least one hole in preset position and with preset outline is made in metal sheet, and several such preliminarily made sections are coiled, assembled into pack and/or rolled to form cellular structure in which separate holes form free space for sensor. Device for making cellular member and catalytic converter carrier are also described in invention.
EFFECT: provision of free space corresponding to dimensions of sensor within the limits of existing production process, prevention of formation of free space of too large volume in cellular member at reduced cost.
