Abstract
A resin application station has processing units for heating dynamo-electric machine components. In one or more of the processing units batches of components are placed in fixtures on vertically rotating support plates. The vertically rotating support plates are mounted in cabinets. Heated air is circulated in the cabinets to control the ambient temperature. The components travel through regions of the controlled temperature ambient as the support plates rotate and are heated to process temperatures. Intermittent rotation of a support plate in a unit allows loading and unloading of an individual component from the unit while the support plate is stationary. The support plate rotations in all the units are synchronized to increase the station throughput

27. A method for applying resin to dynamo-electrical machine components, comprising:
-
loading said components in first holding fixtures, wherein said first holding fixtures are disposed in an annular region on the face of a first vertical support plate rotatably mounted in a preheating cabinet;
flowing heated air through said cabinet to provide a temperature controlled ambient therein;
rotating said first vertical support plate such that said loaded components travel through said controlled temperature controlled ambient and are heated to a predetermined temperature;
unloading said heated components from said preheating cabinet;
transferring said unloaded heated components to a resin application unit, wherein said resin application unit comprises means for applying a quantity of resin to said components; and
applying resin to said transferred components in said resin application unit. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31)
