Abstract
A workstation is provided for concurrently processing dynamo-electric machine core subassemblies that are at different stages of a dynamo-electric machine core manufacturing process. The workstation is configured to include a sequence of step processing units. Different units receive and process subassemblies that are at different stages of manufacture. A movable transferor substantially simultaneously advances a group of subassemblies forward through the sequence of units. The workstation can be integrated with conventional assembly line transport systems. These transport systems may be used to deliver input subassemblies to the workstation and to carry away output subassemblies. Subassemblies may be loaded into the workstation at the same time as finished subassemblies are unloaded from the workstation.
