20080216310Apparatus and methods for wire coil lead placement - Apparatus and methods for forming wire coil leads that depart from wire coils inserted into a dynamo-electric machine component are provided. A plurality of wire coils may be received on an insertion tool. A wire lead may be anchored at a location on the insertion tool. A wire coil corresponding to the wire lead may encircle the location in a plane of the insertion tool. In accordance with the present invention, none of the plurality of wire coils may surmount a first portion of the wire lead anchored at the location. In some embodiments, a template for winding the wire coils may be provided that has a seat portion on the underside of the template. The seat portion may receive a wire lead such that the lead is aligned with the anchoring location on the insertion tool.09-11-2008

20090064483Dynamo-electric machine component winding methods and apparatus - Stator designs have wide-mouth slots between adjacent poles. Wire coils with high slot fill conductivity are formed around the poles. In some designs, the wire coils are wave wound around the poles. Thick bar conductors can be used for making the wire coils. The wire coils may be inserted using nozzle dispensers or transferred from a pre-form mandrel. In other designs, the wire coils are pre-formed on transferable pockets that are then mounted on the poles. Optional pole extensions or shoes can be attached to the stator poles after the wire coils are formed around the poles.03-12-2009
20100043205METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TERMINATING LEADS OF PLURAL WIRES IN DYNAMO ELECTRIC MACHINE CORE - Method and Apparatus are provided for automatically disposing plural wires along predetermined trajectories, wherein the plural wires extend from coils wound in slots of dynamoelectric machine cores. Plural wires forming leads (02-25-2010

20100325875APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR WINDING SUPPORTS FOR COILS AND SINGLE POLES OF CORES OF DYNAMO ELECTRIC MACHINES - Apparatus and method for winding at least one electric wire W on a coil support (12-30-2010
20110248113APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR WINDING WIRE COILS OF DYNAMOELECTRIC MACHINE CORES - An apparatus and a method for winding wire coils in cores of dynamo electric machine using needles that are relatively movable with respect to the cores. Wire guides are provided that are also relatively movable with respect to the needle and the core so that the wire leaving the needle can be delivered to predetermined positions around the poles of the core to wind the wire coils. The wire guides are supported adjacent to the ends of the core by support means which have portions occupying positions of the needle trajectory during winding. The portion of the support means are movable as a function of the position occupied by the needle around the poles so that the needle can move without being obstructed. The arrangement enhances accuracy of guiding and positioning of the wire to form the wire coils and is suitable for compactly sized cores.10-13-2011
