Abstract
To reduce manufacturing cycle times, after a stator core is transferred by a transfer carriage along a track from a winding station to a coil lead terminating station at which lead wires extending from the coils to temporary wire clamps on the transfer carriage are connected by an industrial robot to terminal members on the stator core, the stator core is clamped to the track and the transfer carriage returned to the winding station immediately after the last lead wire to be removed from a temporary wire clamp is removed so that the transfer carriage returns to the winding station while the last lead wire is being connected to terminal member on the stator core.
