Abstract

A method of welding and evaluating welds on stator hairpins includes obtaining first data representative of the ends of a first pair of stator hairpins by capturing image data representative of the ends, and processing the image data to obtain a data set representative of a rectangle which fully encloses the end surfaces of the stator hairpins. After the data set is saved, a laser may be used to form a weld on the end surfaces of the stator hairpins. Then, second data is obtained representative of the weld, and the weld is evaluated by comparing the second data to the data set. A system for welding and evaluating welds on the ends of stator hairpins is also disclosed. A digital camera may be used to capture data, and the laser may be used to form the welds on the stator hairpins.
