A semi-automated method for forming armature coils comprising a plurality of transposed wire pairs includes joining a plurality of pairs of wires having offset segments along their lengths, wherein each pair of wires are in contiguous, surface-to-surface engagement with each other along a length defining said each pair of wires, insulating each of the transposed pairs of wires, assembling the plurality of the insulated transposed pairs of wires with the transpositions being staggered to create a pack, and forming the pack into an armature coil in an automated coil forming machine by bending the pack in two planes. The joining of the plurality of pairs of wires having the offset segments along their lengths is effectuated at a transposition point. Each pair of wires has a transposition at a unique point relative to others of the plurality of the pairs of wires forming the coils.
A semi-automated method for forming armature coils comprising a plurality of transposed wire pairs, the method comprising:
An assembly line method for producing armature coils, said method having a plurality of discrete operations effectuated over a substantially equal period of time to result in a continual flow of said armature coils, said method comprising:
