<p>Methods and apparatus for fusing armature wires to a commutator, and fusing stator lead wires and stator hooks (16), are provided. An electrode assembly having a screw (84) mechanism converts the rotational motion of a motor into a translational motion of the fusing electrode (18). A microprocessor-based control circuit receives electrode force and displacement data from a load cell (42) and an encoder, respectively, to control the fusing operation. The fusing operation is performed according to a predetermined force or displacement function that is stored in the control circuit. <IMAGE></p> |
