Stator of an electric machine and production thereof

A method for automated production of a winding of a stator for a rotating electric machine, said method comprising:

• producing a conductor bundle from straight conductors which are placed in parallel relationship and electrically insulated from one another and which are each sized at length that is longer than a length of a slot in a laminate stack of the stator;
• introducing the conductor bundle into the slot of the stator so that opposite conductor ends of each conductor project out of the slot;
• electrically connecting each of the conductor ends of the conductors at both axial ends of the laminate stack via a winding overhang to form coils of the winding;
• and
• closing the slot with a profile bar on a side of an air gap between the stator and a rotor of the electric machine, with the profile bar including a base body which has a shape of a prism with a triangular base area and two edges extending orthogonal to the base area, with flanges protruding from the edges respectively, thereby providing the base body with a T-shaped cross-section with arms formed by the flanges, and a triangular foot.
