Abstract
Improvements in adapting coil placing machines to accommodate cores of differing sizes such as varying stack heights is disclosed wherein a ram actuated stripper which normally engages and urges coils along finger elements into a magnetic core is extended to mechanically couple a portion of a shaft supporting those finger elements with a portion of the stripper actuating rod so as to prevent relative rotation between those two coupled portions and then the coupled portions are rotated together while holding the stripper and finger elements in a rotationally fixed position so as to allow a threaded interconnection coupling the fingers to the finger support shaft as well as a threaded interconnection coupling the stripper to the stripper actuating ram portion to move both the stripper and the fingers axially within the machine. Movement of the finger elements also changes the location of a rest or home position for the stripper so that during machine use the stripper executes a fixed stroke length independent of the stack height to which the machine has been adjusted.
