A stator (2) of a rotary electric machine such as an alternator for use in an automobile vehicle is composed of a cylindrical stator core (32) and a stator winding (31) held in the stator core. The stator winding is formed by electrically connecting plural U-shaped conductor segments (33) inserted into slots (35) of the stator core. Pairs of segment ends (331d', 332d; 331e', 332e) to be electrically connected are aligned along two or more coaxial circumferences and correctly positioned by individually restricting each pair of segment ends. Correctly positioned plural pairs are continuously welded one by one by rotating the stator core (32). <IMAGE> |
