Abstract
Finish leads of coils wound onto stator cores without terminal boards are automatically secured before the stator is removed from the winding apparatus. Tooling is provided that is moved into position adjacent the stator at a lead tuck station to cooperate with a robot end effector to tuck the finish leads between their respective coils and the portion of the stator core adjacent thereto. Because the finish leads are so tucked, the coils do not have a tendency to despool when removed from the winding apparatus, which permits the use of an automated load/unload mechanism.
