Hunter introduced its new AutoComp Elite brake lathe featuring automatic compensation technology. The patent pending AutoComp compensation system directly determines the position of the internal plates to maximize speed and accuracy without operator intervention, the company said, adding the result is the fastest, highest quality brake job possible.
The new 7-in. touchscreen provides a user-friendly interface that allows technicians to quickly look up required adaptors, operate the lathe including changing cutting direction and speed, and view instructional videos. The interface also includes the BitMinder feature, which monitors bit life and recommends replacement to improve cut quality and reduce waste.
Hunter said AutoComp Elite also includes patented Anti-Chatter Technology, which eliminates the buildup of vibration that can occur when machining rotors at a fixed speed.
