Abstract
Connection of stator coil lead wires to terminals with channels is accomplished using an industrial robot and tooling for guiding the lead wires into the terminal channels and for protecting the terminals from being snagged by the wire or being bent by the pulling of the wire by the robot. During an early stage of movement of the robot to effect connection of a lead wire to a terminal, the tooling is partly retracted to expose part of the terminal in order to simplify the movements of the robot. The lead wires are cut and crimped by tabs on the terminals using the end effector of the robot.
