Abstract
Methods and apparatus for winding wire coils on cores of dynamo-electric machine components such as stators and alternators are provided. The apparatus may be used to wind wire coils on the poles of a stator. The apparatus includes a movable wire dispenser and a set of wire pullers. The wire pullers are used to form a loop in an initial stretch of wire dispensed by the wire-dispenser alongside a stator pole. The loop is first formed adjacent to the pole and then moved above the pole out of the paths of subsequent wire stretches dispensed to form the wire coils. The loop may be pulled taut in either direction upon completion of the winding operation to connect the wire to a terminal.
