Methods and apparatus for processing stators.

摘要

An auxiliary member is provided with gripping means for temporarily securing the leads of wire coils wound around the poles of a stator. When the stator reaches the winding station of the manufacturing process, both the stator and the auxiliary member can be transferred to the winding machine, where the leads of the stator coils are gripped by the gripping means. When winding has been completed, the stator and the auxiliary member are transferred to a terminating station where the coil leads are finally anchored to the terminal receptacles of the stator.
