Abstract
Apparatus for fusing electric motor parts (e.g., fusing electric motor armature coil leads to the commutator of the armature) includes positive control of the elements which move to perform the fusing cycle so that the fusing cycle stroke can begin at any desired location. This facilitates shortening the stroke and making it constant despite changes or deviations in the workpieces being fused. It also facilitates withdrawal of the fusing head to a location which is more remote from the workpiece when the fusing electrode is to be changed due to wear. In fusing machines having a rotating turret which carries several fusing electrodes, the mass of the moving parts is reduced by mounting the actuator which reciprocates the turret on the frame of the machine, and by deriving the motion required to rotate the turret from the reciprocation rather than from a separate actuator.
