Publication number: 20250015688Abstract: A method for inserting conductive pins from a transfer device to a body of a wound part in order to form an electrical winding of a wound part of a rotary electric machine. The method includes a preparation step, in which the conductive pins are arranged in the spindle body, and a step of positioning the spindle body relative to the body of the wound part. A guide step arranges a guide device to guide the conductive segments in a circumferential and/or radial direction, and a transfer step inserts conductive segments into the corresponding slots.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2022Publication date: January 9, 2025Applicant: VALEO EQUIPEMENTS ELECTRIQUES MOTEURInventors: Stéphane DE CLERCQ, Jean DUQUESNE, Humberto TELES DE MENEZES, Ludovic DARRAS, Samuel GRESSIER, Hassna ACHIBANE, Vincent RAMET
