Method for manufacturing stator for rotating machine

A method for manufacturing a stator for use in a rotating machine provided with a core main body having a plurality of teeth projecting from an outer circumferential side of the core main body and wound with a coil, and a ring member fitted on the outer circumferential portion thereof, comprising the steps of:

• inserting a jig into the interior of the core main body;
• clamping a wind start portion of the coil on one portion of the jig, winding the coil between groups of teeth, and clamping a wind terminating portion of the coil on another portion of the jig;
• fitting the ring member over the outer circumferential portion of the core main body;
• mounting a terminal unit on the stator;
• releasing the wind start and wind terminating portions of the coil from the jig, and winding said portions around corresponding pins of said terminal unit and soldering said portions to said pins;
• and
• shaping the configuration of the portions of the coil positioned between the teeth.
