Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018206783A1] The invention relates to a method and a device (1) for deforming a U-shaped electric conductor (6) into a hairpin (19) which can be used to produce a bar winding of an electric machine. Prior to the deforming process, the electric conductor (6) has two parallel limbs (7, 8) which are integrally connected together by means of a connection limb (9), and the three limbs (7, 8, 9) are arranged on an imaginary plane (10). The aim of the invention is to carry out the deformation of the electric conductor (6) into a hairpin (19) in an inexpensive manner. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the two parallel limbs (8, 9) are first clamped in a respective clamping device (A, B), the first limb (7) together with the first clamping device (A) is then held in place, the second limb (8) is then moved away from the first limb (7) on a circular path (42), thereby stretching the connection limb (9), and a deformation section (11') of the electric conductor (6) is simultaneously or subsequently moved on a guide surface (31) of a twisting guide element (30), said guide surface protruding radially beyond the circular path (42).
