Device for shaping one or more conductor pieces arranged in a stator core, a plurality of conductor pieces being arranged in the stator core, which conductor pieces are arranged on a plurality of circular paths extending in a circumferential direction, in rows extending along a radial direction, the shaping taking place at a free end of the conductor piece that projects from the stator core, the device comprising: a receptacle for the stator core in a provided operating position in which the conductor pieces to be shaped are arranged in an initial configuration (before shaping) in such a way that the conductor pieces projecting from the stator core project extending from the stator core along a longitudinal direction; at least one bending unit for shaping the conductor piece(s), the bending unit in turn comprising: a positioning unit for positioning the bending unit with respect to the receptacle for the stator core, a contact portion which is designed to laterally contact the conductor piece(s) to be shaped, an actuator which is arranged and designed to move the contact portion relative to the positioning unit in order to shape the conductor piece(s); the contact portion being mounted in the positioning unit in such a way that, when the actuator is actuated, the contact portion is moved in a first movement step in a first bending direction with respect to the positioning unit without changing its pivoting position, characterized in that in a second movement step, the movement of the contact portion in the first bending direction is superimposed with a pivoting movement in a second bending direction of the contact portion counter to the first bending direction. a plurality of conductor pieces being arranged in the stator core, which conductor pieces are arranged on a plurality of circular paths extending in a circumferential direction, in rows extending along a radial direction, the shaping taking place at a free end of the conductor piece that projects from the stator core, the device comprising: a receptacle for the stator core in a provided operating position in which the conductor pieces to be shaped are arranged in an initial configuration (before shaping) in such a way that the conductor pieces projecting from the stator core project extending from the stator core along a longitudinal direction;
