Publication number: 20120112597Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2011Publication date: May 10, 2012Applicant: ATOP S.p.A.Inventors: Raffaele Becherucci, Massimo Pelletta, Rodolfo Pes, Gianfranco Stratico

Publication number: 20050102822Abstract: The present invention concerns improved methods and apparatus for forming undulated wire coils that are placed into the cores of dynamo electric machine components. In particular, the invention concerns improved methods and apparatus for controlling the direction of deposit (along the axis about which the coil is wound) for the turns of a wire coil and for positioning the leads of the coil. This is accomplished by forming a series of wire coils using a programmable apparatus that controls a sequence of directions (along the coil axis) in which the wire turns are deposited, as well as positions of the final leads. The same methods and apparatus may also be used to form continuously wound wire portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2004Publication date: May 19, 2005Inventors: Massimo Pelletta, Gianpiero Vanzetti, Gianfranco Stratico
