  • Patent number: 8230585
    Abstract: A method and device for wire termination on stators (1) wherein the wire (15) is wound about poles (6) distributed by a flyer (10), guided by shrouds (16) that move radially with respect to the stator (1) overlapping the respective pole (6). Wire termination operations are provided on the wire ends (15) into the terminals (4) with the aid of the flyer (10), carried out by an apparatus equipped with a termination device (20), comprising a first deflector (21), a second deflector (22), a blade (23), and a clamp formed by a movable gripper (24) and a fixed gripper (25). The movable gripper is suitable for closing onto the fixed gripper for gripping the wire (15). The device (20) can carry out the steps of catching, moving, introducing and cutting the wire (15) with movements parallel to its own axis (27), or to the axis (7) of the stator (1).

  • Publication number: 20110131795
    Abstract: A method and device for wire termination on stators (1) wherein the wire (15) is wound about poles (6) distributed by a flier (10), guided by shrouds (16) that move radially with respect to the stator (1) overlapping the respective pole (6). Wire termination operations are provided on the wire ends (15) into the terminals (4) with the aid of the flier (10), carried out by an apparatus equipped with a termination device (20), comprising a first deflector (21), a second deflector (22), a blade (23), and a clamp formed by a movable gripper (24) and a fixed gripper (25). The movable gripper is suitable for closing onto the fixed gripper for gripping the wire (15). The device (20) can carry out the steps of catching, moving, introducing and cutting the wire (15) with movements parallel to its own axis (27), or to the axis (7) of the stator (1).

  • Patent number: 6848646
    Abstract: A method for guiding the wire (8) on multi-pole stators (1) that can be wound by a flier-type machine, wherein the stators (1) have a core (3) with poles (4) defining between them a plurality of grooves (5), and wherein the wire (8) is wound about the poles (4) guided by first fixed shrouds (11) and second mobile shrouds (12?), which move radially for laying the wire (8) along the poles same. At winding the approaching step of third shrouds (21) against the boundary of the pole (4) is provided. The third shrouds (21) and the second shrouds (12?) move integrally when approaching or moving away with respect to the stator, whereas during the winding step they are movable relative to each other, so that the third shrouds (21) are fixed against the stator (1) and guide the wire (8) in the grooves (5), whereas the second shrouds (12?) move for laying the wire (8) about the poles (4).
