  • Patent number: 6302961
    Abstract: An apparatus for applying a hardenable or curable liquid coating, such as “varnish” to workpieces, such as electric motor rotor or stator conductor windings comprises a rotary table having plural workpiece supports mounted on the table circumferentially spaced and radially outwardly projecting. Rotatable stator grippers or rotor support heads are mounted at each support and are drivenly engaged with a drive mechanism, including a drive shaft assembly which is operably connected to a ring gear disposed centrally on the table and coaxial with the axis of rotation of the table. The ring gear is drivenly connected to a variable speed drive motor. Electric alternator stator members may be mounted at each support by a releasable pneumatically actuated gripper assembly which is mounted for rotation by a retractable friction wheel connected to the drive shaft assembly.
