Patent ID: 8456052

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a stator winding ( 10 ) of an electric machine as a wave winding, comprising steps of: manufacturing an inner winding ( 16 ) using a rotating winding mandrel in a winding process; and manufacturing an outer winding ( 18 ) around the inner winding ( 16 ) so that the outer winding ( 18 ) is spaced axially apart from the inner winding ( 16 ) using the rotating winding mandrel in the winding process, to form the wave winding; wherein the inner winding ( 16 ) and the outer winding ( 18 ) are formed of one piece of wire; wherein the winding process continues at least once on the same side of the winding mandrel to a reversal point of the stator winding, which is embodied as a conductor ( 14 ) of one piece, and wherein when an end of the wiring mandrel is reached during the winding process, a rotation of the winding mandrel is omitted.
