APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR WINDING POLES OF CORES OF DYNAMO ELECTRIC MACHINES

Apparatus (1) and method for winding coils (B) of a wire conductor (W) around respective radial poles (10c) of a core (10) of a dynamo electric machine component. The apparatus (1) comprises a wire dispenser arm (11) which rotates about a radial pole (10c) at a time to dispense the wire conductor (W) forming the turns (S). A first wire guide (32) is, furthermore, provided positioned at a first axial end (A) from the radial pole (10c) being wound and moved along a moving direction (132a, 132b) parallel to the radial direction (110c) of the radial pole (10c) to form a respective coil (B). A second and a third wire guide (36, 37) are, furthermore, provided positioned respectively, in a first and in a second slot (10a, 10b) adjacent to the radial pole (10c) being wound at opposite sides. The second and the third wire guides (36, 37) are positioned with respect to the first wire guide (32) in such a way to form at least a respective passageway (38a, 38b, 38′a, 38′b) for the wire conductor W. The apparatus (1) comprises, furthermore, at least a first and a second guide portion (35a, 35b, 35′a, 35′b) coplanar to each other in order to close, at least partially, the, or each, passageway (38a, 38b, 38′a, 38′b) during winding of the radial pole (10c).
