  • Stator coil lacing machine
    Patent number: 9831750
    Abstract: A stator coil lacing machine includes a carriage pivotably connected to a frame. The carriage supports a needle assembly and cord guide assembly. The needle assembly includes a needle, a needle rotation actuator that rotates the needle about its longitudinal axis, and a needle translation actuator that moves the needle along its longitudinal axis. The cord guide assembly includes a cord guide shaft, a cord guide wag actuator that rotates the cord guide shaft about its longitudinal axis, and a cord guide lift actuator that rotates the cord guide shaft about an axis transverse to its longitudinal axis. A carriage actuator pivots the carriage relative to the frame. The carriage actuator, the needle rotation actuator, the needle translation actuator, the cord guide wag actuator, and the cord guide lift actuator cooperate in a manner that results in lacing of the stator coil.
