Description

The CTL-312S is the latest of our new generation Lathes designed to finish turning the commutator of starter armatures or alternator slip rings.
Applicable in both the Rebuilding and the OEM Industries, the Lathe features sophisticated turning technology based on using servo drive systems and reliable measuring feeler unit.
Turning of both the commutator (riser-less type and regular riser type) and slip ring (including cutting the insulation channel on newly installed sleeves) is achieved via a specialized 2-positioning (optional) or single seated shank-holder unit, mounted onto precision servo-driven slides. During the turning operation, the work piece is rotated on its own bearing journals in long lasting half bearings or diamond prisms (optional).

Upon loading the work piece onto the bearing supports and closing the front safety door, the machine is ready to initiate the pre-selected type of cycle that is most suitable to the
customer’s needs.
If used for Rebuilding Industry, a preliminary measuring sub-cycle will be executed, aiming to collect dimensional information about the current work piece while using a high precision feeler unit. If used for OEM, the measurements will be skipped. Then, based on the collected data, the PLC control system automatically adjusts all
necessary turning parameters, ensuring all output parameters are in accordance with the ones preliminary set in the “Model Parameters”.
