CU Automatic Lathe Undercutter
Automatic Undercutter Allows Your People To Do More…
Set it up, Turn it on and Walk Away!
Designed specifically for shops undercutting small quantities of a wide range of DC motors, including traction motors, the CU Automatic Undercutter mounts on your existing lathe. It consists of three components; an indexing unit, a pedestal PLC controller, and the Undercutting head with its floating spindle and sensor system. Laser technology is used to detect each mica slot and automatically align the saw.
Sets up in minutes – Simply install the armature in your lathe, position the index belt, program the number of slots into the PLC controller, set the stroke length stops and activate the laser indexing sensor.
Consistent performance without an operator – Once placed in automatic mode no adjustment is required, so your operator is free to perform other shop tasks while the CU undercuts the commutator.
Repeatable high quality Undercutting made easy – So simple to use that anyone can do it after a few minutes of training. Ergonomically safe, the CU Automatic Mica Undercutter takes the skill and operator fatigue out of the process. It increases every shop’s productivity and flexibility!
