Streamlined production of electric motor armatures and stators

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Two production lines for the manufacture of armatures or stators for electric motors are separated over at least part of their length by a common partition. The juxtaposed proximity of the two production lines allows operations on articles on both lines to be carried out simultaneously by equipment mounted on a common operating head. Shuttles are provided upstream and downstream of coil winding areas so that armature or stator bodies from one production line can be automatically diverted to a winder on the other production line and returned when wound. The height of the laminations is determined by picking a stack close to the maximum height permissible measuring this height and, if …
