Apparatus for deforming conductors protruding from a side of a stator or of a rotor of an electric machine

An apparatus for deforming conductors of at least one winding assembly, protruding from a side of a stator or of a rotor of an electric machine, said at least one winding assembly comprising a plurality of basic conductors comprising at least one leg inserted in a cavity of stator or of rotor, each having at least one respective free or terminal end;

• said apparatus comprising at least one twisting matrix, adapted to rotate about an axis (X), comprising at least one gripping element adapted to grip at least one free end and adapted to be moved in a radial direction with respect to said axis (X) to deform said at least one leg such that said at least one free end is closer to or further away from the axis (X);
• said gripping element is provided on an insert having “L” shape on a transverse plane comprising the axis (X);
• said apparatus comprising at least one guide adapted to guide the at least one gripping element along the radial direction with respect to the axis (X);
• and a radial actuator, adapted to actuate the at least one gripping element along the radial direction with respect to the axis (X).
