Abstract: A method for fabricating stator assemblies of electrical machines and an apparatus suitable for carrying the method into practice, wherein a plurality of transfer tools receiving wound coils and inserting the coils into stator cores are transported by conveyors in two identical closed paths arranged symmetrically. Located along each closed path are a plurality of main coil winding devices for winding main coils and transferring them to the transfer tools, a plurality of auxiliary coil winding devices for winding auxiliary coils and transferring these coils to the transfer tools, and a transfer tool indexing device interposed between the main coil winding devices and the auxiliary coil winding devices for indexing the auxiliary coils with the main coils. A drawing-in device common to the two closed paths simultaneously draws the main and auxiliary coils on each transfer tool into stator grooves.

Abstract: A sheet separation apparatus for separating one sheet-piece from a stack of sheets by a suction nozzle, characterized in that a vibration nozzle is provided in close proximity to the suction nozzle which sucks and exhausts air in turns at high speed from and to the stacked sheets to such an extent that said suction nozzle is not prevented by said vibration nozzle from sucking the uppermost sheet-piece in order to vibrate said sheet-piece.
