Abstract: A winding apparatus, includes a winding core, a wire rod being wound on the winding core; a pair of flyers arranged across the winding core in an axial direction; flyer rotation means for rotating either one or both of the pair of flyers; wire storage tools respectively detachably provided on the pair of flyers, the wire rod to be wound on the winding core being stored on the wire storage tools; and tension devices respectively provided on the pair of flyers, the tension devices applying a tension to the wire rod fed from the wire storage tools and introduced to the winding core.

Abstract: A pallet conveying apparatus includes a pair of straight rails configured such that a pallet is movably mounted thereon, a pallet linear feeding unit configured to convey the pallet mounted on the straight rails, a pair of curved rails provided in a curved manner to couple both end parts of the pair of straight rails, and a pallet curved feeding unit configured to convey the pallet mounted on the curved rails.

Abstract: A stator manufacturing apparatus includes an insertion tool that is insertable into a stator core and being configured to dispose a pair of side parts of a stator coil in two holding grooves. A pressing tool has plate-like pushers arranged to correspond to the positions of the holding grooves. The pressing tool pushes out the side parts of the stator coils and inserts the side parts into the corresponding slots. A pair of shaping tools face coil end parts of the stator coils. A plurality of slits through which the pushers are insertable are provided in a principal surface of each shaping tool. A shaping tool moving unit shapes the coil end parts by pressing the pair of shaping tools in an axial direction with the pushers inserted in each of the corresponding holding grooves.

Abstract: A coil winding device includes a wire rod delivering machine configured to deliver a wire rod through a nozzle, a wire storing jig configured to store the wire rod delivered from the nozzle, a wire-wound member around which the wire rod is wound, a wire-wound-member rotation mechanism configured to rotate the wire-wound member to wind the wire rod delivered from the nozzle around the wire-wound member, and a wire-storing-jig turning mechanism configured to turn the wire storing jig around a rotation axis of the wire-wound member to wind the wire rod delivered from the wire storing jig around the wire-wound member. The rotation axis of the wire-wound member and a wire-storing central axis of the wire storing jig are mutually orthogonal.
