A method and apparatus for positioning and transferring stator coil leads in a dynamoelectric stator assembling machine. The apparatus includes holding devices for positioning and retaining the stator coil leads after the coils are wound and before they are inserted into the stator core. The apparatus also includes lead pullers for transferring the leads, during insertion of the coils into the stator core, from the inserting equipment to a stator carrying pallet having lead retaining devices herein. The apparatus further includes lead catchers for capturing the leads from the stator pallet lead retaining devices and for transferring the leads from the stator pallet to a lead finishing apparatus.

Method and apparatus for positioning and transferring stator coil leads

Apparatus for placing coils and phase insulation in the slots of a dynamoelectric machine stator core member includes a core member loading and unloading station, a coil and phase insulation placing station, a preliminary end turn forming station, and a coil drifting station. An unwound core member at the loading/unloading station is loaded in mounting apparatus on a transfer arm which transfers the core to the placing station where coils and phase insulation are placed in the core member slots. The core is then transferred by the transfer arm to the preliminary end turn forming station where the end turns of the coils are formed away from the bore of the core member. The core member is then transferred by the transfer arm to the drifting station where the coils are drifted into the slots. The transfer arm ultimately transfers a fully wound core back to the loading/unloading station where the wound core is unloaded from the transfer arm and then inverted.
