An apparatus and method for forming at least one end turn and one slot segment of a coil for a stator of a dynamoelectric machine includes the utilization of a plurality of forming dies. Each forming die includes two lateral surfaces extending from a base and an end turn surface disposed substantially between and connecting the two lateral surfaces. Each forming die is disposed and pivotable into an arrangement where at least one lateral surface of a first forming die is substantially adjacent and parallel to at least one lateral surface of a second forming die, a slot segment thereby formable between lateral surfaces of adjacent forming dies and an end turn is at least partially formable between an end turn surface and a base of adjacent forming dies.

Apparatus and method for forming wire loops for a dynamoelectric machine

An apparatus and method for forming at least one end turn and at least one stator slot segment of a conductor for a stator of a dynamoelectric machine comprising at least two forming die sets. The forming die sets are disposed having a space substantially equal to a width of the conductor between adjacent die sets and include a female forming die and a male forming die linearly slideable to the female forming die. The die sets are disposed such that both at least one end turn and at least one stator slot segment are formable between the male forming dies and the female forming dies when the male forming dies are sequentially actuated to the female forming dies.

Disclosed is an apparatus for forming a wire to include coil segments useable in a dynamoelectric machine, the apparatus including a plurality of forming structures simultaneously moveable along an axis into a coil segment forming configuration, with at least a number of the plurality of forming structures being configured to hold a wire, and at least one actuating device associated with at least a number of the plurality of forming structures and configured to simultaneously move the number of the plurality of forming structures into the coil segment forming configuration.
