Apparatus for installing a wire package into an electrical machine

An apparatus for installation of a wire package including a plurality of wire windings into a component, said apparatus comprising a package carrier and a press-insertion device, wherein the package carrier comprises the following:

• a press-insertion mandrel which extends along an axis,
• a number of fins which can be adjusted radially, wherein the fins protrude radially, at least when extended, from the press-insertion mandrel, wherein a receptacle for a portion of the wire package is formed between each pair of two circumferentially adjacent fins;
• and
• an actuating device designed to radially retract and extend the fins;
• wherein the package carrier is configured for receiving the wire package inserted into the radially extracted fins and for retracting the fins with received wire package radially;
• wherein the press-insertion device comprises press-insertion elements movable radially in direction of the package carrier and effecting a movement of at least a portion of the wire-package into the receptacle;
• and wherein the press-insertion device is adapted to be positioned around the package carrier.
