Abstract: A stator for an n-phase electrical machine includes a plurality of first end connectors of a first connector type arranged to electrically connect first ends of shaped strands arranged in stator slots, and a plurality of second end connectors arranged to electrically connect second ends, thereby forming stator winding sections of the electrical machine. A plurality of further connectors is arranged to connect further first ends and thereby to connect stator winding sections to form at least one of parallel and serial arrangements of stator winding sections. Therein, the further connectors are each manufactured from a piece of sheet metal by cutting and bending, and they each have at least one bridge section in which a surface normal to the original sheet surface is parallel to the machine axis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bending tool storage device (1) for storing bending tools (2), comprising: a preferably shelf-type rack (3) on which a plurality of storage locations (4) for bending tools (2) are arranged, at least one supply path (10), preferably in the form of a tool guide (11), for issuing and/or retrieving bending tools (2), and at least one first transfer device (5) for transferring bending tools (2) between the storage locations (4) and a transfer point (6), characterized in that the bending tool storage device (1) comprises, between the transfer point (6) and the supply path (10), a rotating installation (7) for rotating the bending tools (2).
