Wire position correction method and wire position correction apparatus

Abstract

A wire position correction apparatus 14 corrects, in a stator 2 including an annular stator core 21 formed with a plurality of slots and a plurality of wires arranged in the slots, a tip end position of a wire leg portion 261 of the wire protruding from the slot to a reference position. The wire position correction apparatus 14 includes a wire clamper 4 that holds a tip end portion 263 of the wire leg portion 261, a turning mechanism 5 that supports the wire clamper 4 and turns the wire clamper 4 about a center axis passing through a base point P such that the tip end position moves in a direction approaching the reference position, and a movement mechanism 6 that moves the wire clamper 4 and the turning mechanism 5 along the vertical direction and circumferential and radial directions of the stator core 21.
