Abstract: A process for the production of transposed conductors (1) through the transposition of shaped wires (1a) with a rectangular cross-section, with a guide for the shaped wires (1a), which are supplied in two parallel stacks (1b, 1c), in which the shaped conductors (1a) currently lying lowermost and uppermost are displaced onto the neighboring stack (1b, 1c) while being provided with an offset, and one stack (1b) is pushed upward and the other stack (1c) is pushed downward, wherein he displacement of the shaped conductors (1a) and the pushing of the stacks (1b, 1c) is performed by servo motors (2).
