Programmably controlled electric motor part winding methods and apparatus.

摘要

Electric motor parts (i.e., armatures or stators) are wound by moving a wire dispensing member relative to the part so that the wire dispensing member itself guides the wire precisely into position on the part and so that no additional wire guides or shrouds are needed to guide the wire and keep it out of contact with portions of the part that it should not contact. The relative motion between the electric motor part and the wire dispensing member is preferably under programmable control so that the apparatus can be readily reprogrammed when different types of parts are to be wound. Specially shaped wire dispensing members may be employed when winding armatures. <IMAGE>
