Device for winding a multipole stator

A device ( 10 ) for winding wire around pole horns of a rotationally symmetrical multipole stator ( 12 ) of an electrical machine has a wire guide for the supply of the wire and for performing a winding movement made up of individual movements around the pole horn and a traversing movement in the longitudinal direction of the pole horn. To perform a first traversing movement in a first direction (z) the wire guide is actively connected to a winding rod ( 60 ) which is axially movable in the first direction (z), to perform a second traversing or rotational movement in a second direction an indexing device is actively connected to the stator ( 12 ) to be wound, and to perform the traversing movement in a third direction (x) corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the pole horn to be wound, the wire guide is connected to a bracket ( 32 ) which is movable in the third direction (x).
