B. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF MACHINES AND TOOLING

1.0 OP. 20 - WAVE WINDING AND INSERTING

1.1 Automatic Winding and Inserting Machine models WWA-0/R.

The machine is composed by a central base in welded fabricated structure for supporting the double ends indexing arm and the attachments for one (1) winding module and one (1) vertical inserting module. The double ends indexing arm is utilized to transfer the two upper inserting blade pack tooling from the winding module to the inserting module and vice versa. The machine includes the following modules:

2

1.1.1 Vertical Wave Winding Module, designed to produce wave shaped coils.

The winding head is composed of a rotor, which generates a polygonal coil, having a developed coil length (circle) between 800 mm. (31,5") and 1500 mm. (59"). This rotor is composed of six (6) radial moving forms for supporting the stratified winding (precision layer) and six (6) pushers for coil internal forming. Both forms and pushers, by moving towards the center, generates a wave shape to the polygonal wound coil. This is then finally ejected into the upper blade pack tooling.

The module has the following capabilities:

- use of single or parallel wires

- single or multiple layer of windings

- programmed position for leads exit

- programmed position for each winding on the upper blade pack tooling

- any type of winding including:

- traditional phases

- reversed wave split phases with or without cutting the wire between the semi-phases

- intra-bundle device to hide the exit lead of the internal phase. With this device the internal diameter of the stator will be clear from the presence of any lead

1.1.2 Vertical Inserting Module for the automatic insertion of coils and closure wedges into the alternator stator pack.

The wedge material is fed through a set of rollers at a programmed length, cut and formed into the wedge magazine.

A single solid ring placed on the insertion axe, clamps the stator during the insertion cycle. This unit, along with the stator alignment gauge, guarantee a stiff and accurate positioning of the stator during the insertion process. The clamping bracket is pneumatically operated, the alignment gauge is manually operated. The transfer of the upper blade pack tooling with the wound coils from the winding to the insertion module and vice versa is done automatically with a double ends indexing arm. Loading and unloading operations of the stator are manually performed. DMG has to provide a heating device to keep the wedge material warm in winter time. JHECO to provide a reference.

SPECIFIC TOOLING

1.2 Complete Set of Specific Tooling to be mounted on the above machine mod. WWA-O/R for only one alternator stator type with 36 slots, including:

- one (1) lower inserting tooling complete with wedge preparation, wedge magazine and wedge push rods

- two (2) upper blade pack inserting tooling (one per operating station)

- one (1) stator alignment gauge and clamping tooling

- one (1) set of six (6) forms and six (6) pushers for winding form

- one (1) set of coil ejector

The tooling is complete with quick change and set-up device.

BEGINNING of PRELIMINARY ACCEPTANCE at DMG Plant

To be agreed upon.

At present, term it is 4 MONTHS (excluding the month of August) from receipt of full order and clarification of all technical documentation.

Delivery date is one-two weeks after the preliminary acceptance signature.

PRELIMINARY ACCEPTANCE

The preliminary acceptance of the equipment will take place at the DMG plant at the presence of your engineers proving:

- 85% efficiency over approx. 1 hours running.

- Machine cycle time according to the contract

- Quality of the stators according to the supplied drawings

The necessary testing materials (250 parts 1D 106.21150 parts ID 100.21 wire/wedge material) have to be shipped to DMG (at YOUR CHARGE and EXPENSE) at least 60 days before the term scheduled for preliminary acceptance, which will consist in the manufacturing of samples for quality control and in the running for production control.

It would be Customer's responsibility to provide good quality of the parts necessary for the run off. Proper material for this application should be used by Customer in order to guarantee the same condition during the stator winding process. All gauges and inspection equipment necessary for the try-out of this system would also be the responsibility of the Customer.

Before shipment of the equipment from DMG Plant, the Customer would be requested to provide acceptance documentation and shipment authorization.

DMG will pay the living expenses for two (2) JHECO engineers during the preliminary acceptance for a period of 5 working days. JHECO will pay the air tickets.

10

FINAL ACCEPTANCE

Final acceptance of the equipment will take place at the Customer Plant, utilizing the same good quality of the parts to be processed and of the material, in order to guarantee the conditions of the tests as when tested in DMG plant.

At the acceptance of the equipment, the Customer would be requested to provide acceptance documentation. This will be the starting date of the twelve months warranty.
