Abstract
Methods and apparatus for insulating interior walls of lamination slots of dynamo-electric machine components are provided. The relative speeds and sequence of cutting, forming, and inserting a piece of insulation material into the slot of the lamination core of a dynamo-electric machine component may be determined by a central drive mechanism. The central driving mechanism may have a plurality of cams, rotating with a main shaft, to control the translations of cutting, forming and inserting members.
Claims52
A method for insulating interior walls of lamination slots of dynamo-electric machine components by controlling displacement and speed profiles of a plurality of mechanical output members comprising:
- moving at least one member located within a casing;
- translating the plurality of mechanical output members by the moving of the at least one member;
- and
- extending the plurality of mechanical output members at least in part from the casing.
A method for insulating interior walls of lamination slots of dynamo-electric machine components comprising:
- cutting a strip of insulation material into a segment having a predetermined length;
- forming the cut segment of insulation material into a predetermined shape;
- inserting the formed segment of insulation material into the lamination slot;
- and
- controlling the cutting, forming, and inserting with a central control device having a single shaft and a plurality of cams coupled to a longitudinal axis of the shaft.
An apparatus for insulating interior walls of lamination slots of dynamo-electric machine components by controlling displacement and speed profiles of a plurality of mechanical output members comprising:
- a casing;
- a plurality of mechanical output members extending at least partially outward from the casing;
- and
- movable members located within the casing that translate the plurality of mechanical output members at least partially outward from the casing.
An apparatus for insulating interior walls of lamination slots of dynamo-electric machine components comprising:
- a cutting member for cutting a strip of insulation material into a segment having a predetermined length;
- a forming member for forming the cut segment of insulation material into a predetermined shape;
- an inserting member for inserting the formed segment of insulation material into the lamination slot;
- and
- a central control device comprising a single shaft and a plurality of cams coupled to a longitudinal axis of the shaft for controlling the cutting member, forming member, and inserting member.
