Aligning apparatus for hairpin type stator coil

An aligning apparatus configured to align I-shaped stator coils to an alignment jig in which U-shaped stator coils are aligned, the aligning apparatus comprising:

• a frame;
• a storage stacking portion disposed at the frame;
• at least one storage configured to load the I-shaped stator coils, the at least one storage comprising storage guides that are disposed at the storage stacking portion and inclined downward from a rear side of the least one storage to a front side of the least one storage;
• at least one cartridge disposed forward relative to the at least one storage and configured to receive the I-shaped stator coils from the at least one storage, the least one cartridge comprising cartridge guides that are arranged in a downward direction from the rear side to the front side and configured to output the I-shaped stator coils one by one;
• and
• a gripper configured to (i) move along a predetermined path, (ii) grip and un-grip the I-shaped stator coils that are output from the at least one cartridge one by one, and (iii) insert each of the I-shaped stator coils into a predetermined position in the alignment jig.
