Methods and apparatus are disclosed for fabricating dynamoelectric machine magnetic stator assemblies. Coil injection tooling or tool pack is moved into an alignment position at a winding station where it is manipulated to dispose winding turns directly on the tool pack. The tool pack with winding turns thereon and a magnetic core are moved to a loading station where both are positioned and aligned on a transporting device. A conditioning arrangement adjusts the transporting device and simultaneously adjusts an injection machine for the particular stator core height. The transporting device is then moved and aligned at an injection station where the injection tooling is transferred from the transporting device to a coil injection machine. The magnetic core is aligned with the transferred injection tooling and then the injection machine is activated to cause simultaneous insertion of the winding turns and insulating wedges into axial slots of the magnetic core with the core being retained in position during the coil injection operation by core abutment means located on the core support. The transporting device is again moved to receive the empty blade pack or injection tooling as it is ejected from the injection machine. The magnetic core and the tool pack are moved by the transporting device to an unloading station where both are removed from the transporting device with the empty tool pack being transferred back to the coil winding station for a repeat of the above-described cycle for fabricating another stator core assembly.
