Apparatus and method for winding supports for coils and single poles of cores for dynamoelectric machines

Apparatus for winding coils of at least one electric wire conductor on a coil support of a dynamo electric machine, the apparatus comprising:

• a wire dispenser, the wire dispenser having a passage portion for the wire, an exit from where the wire reaches the coil support during winding, and a wire presser;
• a pressure member for pressing on the wire during winding to bend the wire according to a configuration of the coil;
• an assembly for supporting and rotating the coil support with respect to the dispenser to wind the wire on the coil support;
• a tensioner device for applying tension on the wire reaching the dispenser;
• and
• platforms for moving the dispenser with respect to the coil support;
• wherein the dispenser is configured to position a predetermined length of wire such that, prior to winding, the predetermined length of wire extends from the exit of the dispenser to an unattached cut end in a direction for feeding the wire to the coil support and the pressure member is in alignment with the predetermined length of wire during movement of the dispenser prior to winding;
• and wherein the wire presser is configured to block the predetermined length of wire during the movement of the dispenser such that the length of the predetermined length of wire does not change.
