Device for installing a linear motor line

A device for laying at least one linear motor line into the grooves of an inductor situated underneath a cover plate, the device comprising:

• a vehicle that is movable on the cover plate in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle;
• a supply of line;
• a drawing device for drawing the line from said supply and for delivering the line to a line meander device;
• an assembly slide situated at least partly underneath the cover plate which is movable relative to the vehicle in a transverse direction, said assembly slide including a meander device for forming a meander of the line and further comprising a line pressing tool for pressing the meander of the line into the grooves.

A device for laying at least one linear motor line into the grooves of an inductor situated underneath a cover plate, the linear motor line to extend with portions directed in a longitudinal direction and portions directed in a transverse direction, the device comprising:

• a vehicle on the cover plate;
• a supply of line;
• a drawing device for drawing the line from said supply and for delivering the line to said line meander device;
• an assembly slide situated at least partly underneath the cover plate including means for moving relative to the vehicle in a transverse direction, said assembly slide further comprising a line meander device for forming a meander of the line including forming the portion directed in the longitudinal direction upon movement of the vehicle in the longitudinal direction and forming the portion directed in the transverse direction upon movement at the assembly slide in the transverse direction and having a line pressing tool for pressing the meander of the line into the grooves;
• a measuring device for measuring the position and spacings of grooves;
• and
• a computer for processing measuring data and for controlling the movement of the vehicle, movement of the assembly slide, line meander device and the line pressing tool.
