Method and two-part tool arrangement for producing a stator for an electrical machine

The disclosure relates to a method for producing a stator. Electrical conductor elements are arranged in slots of a laminated core of a two-layer winding. The conductor ends of the conductor elements are moved relative to one another on an end side of the sheet metal packet at one or both of the layers by a positioning process by axially plugging together a normal helix tool with the axial conductor ends of some of the conductor elements and subsequent relative rotation of the normal helix tool relative to the sheet metal packet, and by axially plugging together a selective skewing tool with the axial conductor ends of the remaining conductor elements, such that they have a provided relative end position with respect to each other for a connection of a part of the conductor ends with corresponding conductor ends of the other layer.
