Abstract:
A stator coil former is separated into forming sections and block supports. The forming sections are preferably separated into three sections: a cell bend forming section, an involute forming section and a lead bend forming section. The cell and lead bend forming sections may be repeatedly used while the involute forming section is individually designed. The supports for the forming sections preferably include supporting the cell bend forming section on a platen which supports the center portion of the stator coil, a working table for directly supporting the involute forming section, and an auxiliary table, supported by the working table, for supporting the lead bend forming section.
