Abstract
A method and apparatus for the production of armatures for small electric motors is provided wherein the armatures are clamped in specially designed workpiece holders and continuously processed in successive work stations. The stations may include an armature loading station, a collector pressure-fitting station, a winding station, a welding station, an electrical testing station and an armature discharge station. The transportation of the workpiece holders through the apparatus is effected by a revolving conveyor belt which moves the workpiece holders individually or in groups to the successive work stations. At each work station, the workpiece holder is raised from the conveyor belt, secured in the work station, and connected by clutch devices to corresponding actuating devices within the work station.
