A conductive-wire position inspecting device includes: a reference body disposed in a radial direction of a stator core; an imaging device configured to image a conductive wire and the reference body; and a calculating device configured to find a relative position and a relative angle of the conductive wire with respect to the reference body, based on an obtained image. In addition, the conductive-wire position inspecting device includes a determining device configured to determine whether or not the found relative position and relative angle are within respective permissible ranges, and if they are within the permissible ranges, determine the position of the conductive wire to be acceptable.

An evaporative pattern casting process includes forming a mold by burying a pattern made of resin foam in casting sand, pouring molten metal into the mold, and evaporating the pattern with the molten metal and thereby casting a product. In the evaporative pattern casting process, casting time during founding is set according to a modulus (pattern volume&#xf7;pattern surface area) of the pattern. Accordingly, the casting time in the evaporative pattern casting process is accurately set with high precision.
