Abstract
A twisting device comprises at least one conductor coupler configured to engage a plurality of the conductors and at least one drive operably connected to the conductor coupler. The at least one drive is configured to rotate the conductor coupler in order to bend the plurality of the conductors and simultaneously move the conductor coupler in an axial direction relative to the electric machine component. An associated method of bending conductors positioned in a component of an electric machine comprises first engaging a plurality conductors with a conductor coupler. Thereafter, the plurality of conductors are bent by rotating the conductor coupler while simultaneously moving the conductor coupler in an axial direction relative to the component of the electric machine.
