Abstract:
A method for winding a wire coil on a pole of a stator using a wire dispenser, said stator having a front face, a back face, and a longitudinal bore extending from said back face to said front face, said pole having a front end and longitudinal sides extending downward into said bore, said method comprising:dispensing a starting wire stretch extending from said back face through said bore past said front face adjacent to said pole; deflecting a first portion of said starting stretch away from said pole; deflecting a second portion of said starting stretch upwardly away from said pole and toward said front face forming a loop in said starting stretch; thereafter, moving said wire dispenser to position said loop substantially clear of the paths of subsequent wire stretches destined to be wound on said pole; and dispensing said subsequent wire stretches along said sides and said front end to form said coil.
