  • Patent number: 11462978
    Abstract: A device for producing a stator for an electrical machine includes a segment feed for feeding stator segments, a cylindrical press for pressing the stator segments, a housing feed for feeding stator housings, and a mandrel for receiving the stator segments. The mandrel includes an axial direction, a first region with a first radius, a second region arranged axially below the first region with a second radius that is less than the first radius, and a third region arranged axially below the second region with a third radius that is less than the second radius. In an example embodiment, the mandrel is movable from the segment feed to the cylindrical press, from the cylindrical press to the housing feed, and from the housing feed to the segment feed.
