UNDERCUTTING MACHINE FOR MICANITE INSULATION OF CYLINDRICAL COMMUTATORS OF DC MOTOR ARMATURES (ACM48)

The ACM48 automatic machine is designed for the undercutting of the micanite insulation between the cylindrical commutator bars of starters and other DC electric motors. It is especially suitable for processing of new or rebuilding of old car starter armatures.
The machine is equipped with highly reliable indexing mechanism with photo-electric sensor and step-motor drive, ensuring automatic determination of the commutator bar number and perfect alignment of mica segment with the tool. Automatic detection and ignoring of fault signals. A pneumo-mechanical sensoring mechanism is provided, ensuring the automatic maintaining of the pre-set depth of cutting, irrespective of the commutator O.D. variations.

Capacity: 90 armatures/hour for commutator of 38 mm diameter and 23 bars
