Hunter’sOCL430HD rotor lathe greatly improves medium- and heavy-duty service by machining the rotor on the vehicle. Hub-mounted service eliminates the need to disassemble the hub to remove the rotor, saving a tremendous amount of time and effort. Machining the rotor on the hub also significantly reduces runout, providing a more precise cut and extending the life of expensive rotors. The OCL430HD includes all of the operational features of Hunter’s popular OCL410 light-vehicle brake lathe, yet adds more robust lathe components to handle larger rotors. With a reinforced cutting arm and rugged tool holders, the OCL430HD resurfaces rotors up to 17.5 inches in diameter and up to 3.5 inches in thickness. A 1.5-hp, 230 VAC motor provides the additional torque required for medium- and heavy-duty trucks. The ServoDrive system enables technicians to vary the spindle speed and rotational torque of the lathe while in operation. Pro-Comp computerized compensation adjusts for lateral runout with a push of a button and a simple single-point adjustment, allowing the technician to quickly complete the machining of the rotor within OEM specifications.
