Abstract
A tamping assembly is provided at a stator winding station that includes a tamping member and an air actuator which drives the tamping member toward and away from a temporary wire clamp. The temporary wire clamp has a movable jaw which is forced open to receive a stator coil lead wire by engagement of the tamping member therewith. Extended and retracted positions of the tamping member are determined by proximity detectors that detect the corresponding extended and retracted positions of a guide rod connected to and movable with the tamping member. Plural tamping assemblies are provided, one for each temporary wire clamp. The tamping assemblies are used in conjunction with lead pull assemblies which locate segments of stator coil lead wires in positions to be inserted into the temporary clamps when forced open by the tamping members.
