Hunter’s New OCL400 Anti-Chatter Technology Eliminates Fixed Speed Machining Vibration Problems

Hunter’s new ACT (Anti-Chatter Technology) equipped OCL400 On-Car Brake Lathe virtually eliminates the buildup of vibration (chatter) that can occur when machining rotors at a fixed speed. The ACT feature oscillates the machining speed of the lathe during the cut. The result is a smoother finish that prevents pedal pulsation - the number one cause of brake service customer "comebacks."

Hunter’s new ACT (Anti-Chatter Technology) equipped OCL400 On-Car Brake Lathe virtually eliminates the buildup of vibration (chatter) that can occur when machining rotors at a fixed speed. The ACT feature oscillates the machining speed of the lathe during the cut. The result is a smoother finish that prevents pedal pulsation – the number one cause of brake service customer “comebacks.”

Hunter is the first automotive brake lathe manufacturer to employ turning speed oscillation. The ACT feature is now available on Hunter OCL400 On-Car Lathes and as an upgrade option.

The OCL400’s unique ServoDrive system provides the variable speed capability needed to activate the ACT feature. With the ServoDrive system, technicians can resurface rotors at the fastest speed capable and can change speeds during machining. The final surface finish is unchanged, even when the speed is adjusted "on the fly."

House Subcommittee Votes to Approve REPAIR Act

The REPAIR Act will now go before the full House Energy and Commerce Committee for consideration.

Members of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Innovation, Data, and Commerce unanimously voted to advance the Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair (REPAIR) Act (H.R. 906) to the full Energy and Commerce Committee for consideration.

Building on two recent congressional hearings and last week’s White House roundtable on Right to Repair, this support from Congress is a promising step forward in codifying vehicle data access protections – as part of the broader right to repair movement – in federal law. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives in February this year by Congressmen Neal Dunn, Brendan Boyle and Warren Davidson as well as Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, the only repair shop owner in Congress. Since then, it has gained an additional 40-plus bipartisan cosponsors.
