Armature Winding Stands
- Available in a range of sizes
- Robust construction including cast iron support stands
- Option for wheels for portability
Automatic TIG Welders
Automatic TIG welding is a controlled, repeatable process that provides consistent, high quality TIG welds.
- Automatic torch movement and position control
- Optical sensor detects mica, controls current levels and counts bars.
- Optional brush system continuously cleans the riser during rotation
Banding Machines
The TS Banding Machine produces tight, consistent bands of tape or wire as it accurately maintains tension.
- Variable spindle speed for optimal banding productivity
- Acceleration and deceleration computer controlled for smooth starts and stops
Banding Tension Device
The CB Tension Device is designed for high-tension tape banding on a lathe.
- Versatile and can be used in the field for service work
- Can also be permanently mounted on a lathe
- Calibrated tension device
Coil Puller Station
The station consists of three main components: a traction motor sized Armature Stand with “over-the-top” shaft Clamping device, Pneumatic Cylinder Coil Puller, and Portable I-beam Support Structure.
- Capable of supporting armatures weighing upwards of 3,000kg
- Two heavy stands are mounted onto the base
- A hand-wheel adjusts the height of the stations’ roller stands
Automatic Mica Undercutters
The MDU Undercutter, designed in collaboration with clients provides consistent high quality results and can reduce the undercutting process time from hours to minutes.
- Easy to read mica sensor display reduces set up time
- Fibre optic sensor automatically identifies the mica slot to align the saw
- Floating spindle follows skewed mica slots and eliminates the need for the operator to make adjustments.
TA Seasoner
The TA Seasoning Machine heats and rotates a heavy traction motor armature at high speeds.
- Vibration sensors – in vertical and horizontal direction monitor the spinning armature and are programmed to shut the machine down if the vibration rate exceeds a pre-set limit
- Armature support Bearings are protected by temperature sensors that shut down the machine if they become too hot
- Support pedestals placed on the bedways are line bored as an assembly to ensure that they are true to each other so alignment is perfect
Universal Machine
Combines undercutting, banding, tig welding, commutator turning, and many more operations.
- Reduces Armature Handling
- Reduces Overhead Crane Lifts
- Frees-up Shop Lathe for other work
