Abstract
Apparatus for forming coils of magnet wire and for inserting that magnet wire along the insulating wedges into the core of a stator comprises a transfer tool of circumferentially disposed wedge guides which receives wedges at a wedging station, is wound with coils of magnet wire by a push winding technique at a winding station, and then moves to an insertion station wherein the windings and wedges are pushed into a stator core. The wedge guides are designed to hold the wedges during the winding operation and also to receive the coils being formed as wire is pushed out of a nozzle rotating over the transfer tool. The coils fall by gravity between predetermined pairs of wedge guides. Finger elements are then inserted upwardly through the bore of the transfer tool. An empty stator core is placed on the finger elements, and the formed coils and wedges are pushed from the transfer tool into the stator core.
