Hunter Engineering Releases New AutoComp Elite Brake Lathe

The AutoComp compensation system directly determines the position of the internal plates to maximize speed and accuracy without operator intervention.

hunter-autocomp-elite-latheHunter has released the 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 result is the fastest, highest quality brake job possible, says the company.

The new 7″ 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.

AutoComp Elite also includes patented Anti-Chatter Technology (ACT), which eliminates the buildup of vibration (chatter) that can occur when machining rotors at a fixed speed. This provides the smoothest possible rotor finish without the use of chatter bands or other cumbersome devices.
