  • Patent number: 9764434
    Abstract: A generator assembly apparatus is provided for merging a first annular component and a second annular component of a generator. The generator assembly apparatus includes first and second component support frames, a moving device and an adjustment device. The first component support frame supports the first component securely mounted to the first component support frame. The second component support frame supports the second component securely mounted to the second component support frame. The moving device moves one component support frame relative to the other component support frame to merge the components by inserting one component at least partially into an interior region of the other component. The adjustment device adjusts a position of a support frame such that a pre-defined separation between the first component and the second component is maintained during merging.

  • Patent number: 9601974
    Abstract: An armature assembly apparatus for assembling an armature of an electrical machine is provided. The armature assembly apparatus has an armature holding apparatus to hold a partially assembled armature such that a rotation axis of the armature is horizontal. The armature assembly apparatus has a rotating device for rotating the partially assembled armature about a rotation axis. The armature assembly apparatus also has a ring segment conveyance for conveying an armature ring segment to a mounting position relative to a free ring segment portion of the partially assembled armature.

  • Patent number: 8839943
    Abstract: A conveyor apparatus for an assembly line having a number of assembly stations is provided. The conveyor apparatus has a guide realized to define a path of travel for an assembly station, an engaging unit for engaging an assembly station to the guide, and a driving unit for driving the engaging unit along the guide such that the assembly station is moved through successive stages of the assembly line. The assembly line is used for assembling a generator for a wind turbine.
