Abstract: A stator has a stator core composed of teeth and slots. Segment coils are inserted into the corresponding slots. The segment coil projecting from the slot has an exposed conductor part and a covered conductor part covered with an electrical insulation film. The exposed conductor part is arranged at the distal end side from the covered conductor part of the segment coil. The segment coils are connected together through the exposed conductor parts thereof projecting from the slots. The exposed conductor part has a thickness T2 thinner than a thickness T1 of the covered conductor part. A step part is formed at a position of the stator core side, adjacent to the exposed conductor part of the segment coil. The step part and the covered conductor part are covered with the electrical insulation film continuously from the stator core side of the covered conductor part.

Abstract: A conductor wire insulating film separating method disclosed includes: a preparing step involving preparing rectangular cross-section coil pieces each of which is a conductor wire coated with insulating film and used to provide a stator coil of rotary electric machine; a delivering-in step involving, after the preparing step, delivering coil pieces into a laser separator, with coil pieces aligned such that extremities thereof are adjacent to each other; an applying step involving, after the delivering-in step, continuously applying film removing laser to the extremities of the aligned coil pieces such that the laser is applied to one extremity and then to another extremity, thus removing at least portions of the insulating film from the extremities of the coil pieces; and a delivering-out step involving delivering the coil pieces, from which the at least portions of the insulating film have been removed by the applying step, out of the laser separator.
