Lacing machines from ELMOTEC STATOMAT
With the classic insertion technique, part of the winding, the so-called winding head, remains outside the groove. This cannot be avoided from a manufacturing point of view. The winding head is compressed in the course of winding processing and then firmly fixed with a cord or thread on both stator sides (interconnection side & non-interconnection side).
Lacing is necessary to prevent the wound coils from coming into contact with the rotor and to ensure that there is no interference in the downstream processes. By minimising cavities, the outer dimensions of the stator are also fixed and optimum heat dissipation is made possible.
With its many years of expertise in round wire insertion technology, Schaeffler ELMOTEC STATOMAT offers a sophisticated solution for lacing stator winding heads. The lacing machines are designed in such a way that they can be changed over as quickly as possible to a new package height and a new sheet metal cut. In addition, the lacing machine can introduce loops into the lacing. Stators can be hooked directly onto these loops and transported to further process steps. This option keeps the winding protected from contamination and no additional workpiece carriers are required.
The lacing machine type BK is available as a stand-alone machine and as part of a fully automated production line.
