Stator manufacturing device and stator manufacturing method

A stator manufacturing device, comprising:

• a placement stand on which is placed a stator having a stator core, the stator core having a plurality of slots, and the stator further having a plurality of segment coils respectively inserted into the slots;
• a raising/lowering mechanism that raises and lowers the placement stand;
• a twisting jig that is disposed above the placement stand and has insertion portions into which distal end portions, which are exposed at an upper portion of the stator core, of the segment coils can be inserted;
• a twisting mechanism that rotates the twisting jig;
• and
• a separating jig that is disposed between the placement stand and the twisting jig, and that pushes the stator, at which the segment coils have been twisted as a result of the twisting mechanism rotating in a state in which the distal end portions are inserted into the insertion portions, in a direction of moving away from the twisting jig and separates the segment coils and the twisting jig.
