APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR WIRE COIL LEAD PLACEMENT

摘要

Apparatus for forming wire coil leads that depart from wire coils inserted into a dynamo-electric machine component is provided. A plurality of wire coils may be received on an insertion tool. A wire lead may be anchored at a location on the insertion tool. A wire coil corresponding to the wire lead may encircle the location in a plane of the insertion tool. None of the plurality of wire coils preferably surmounts a first portion of the wire lead anchored at the location. In some embodiments, a template for winding the wire coils may be provided that has a seat portion on the underside of the template. The seat portion may receive a wire lead such that the lead is aligned with the anchoring location on the insertion tool.
