Lathe TB500
Centering to the hub:
TB500 has to be centered to the wheel hub by means of some centering rings to be placed on the wheel axle.
The connection can be executed with or without the internal bearing mounted, and the operation is extremely fast also because there is not a need of a further clamping.

The intermittent feeding:
The intermittent feeding acts on the displacement of the tool-holder group and it allows the tools to engrave parallels circles on the brake shoes surface. We avoid in this way the formation of the classical spiral effect on the turned surface which is the main responsible of the axial displacement of the brake shoes and of their early wear and tear.
Other characteristics:
The rotating body, performed in one only "strongly nerved" aluminum alloy casting, ensures extreme stiffness and at the same time contains at minimum the rotating masses.
The rotating body turns upon a real hardened and ground steel drive shaft, supported by two great sized bearings lubricated by permanent life grease (periodical maintenance operations free).
To the above mentioned spindle is stiffly bolted the hub connecting pipe.
The tool-holder group is equipped with a micrometric head, that allows the direct reading of the working diameter, and with a double insert pivoting tool.
The lathe is mounted on a balancing support, which is placed on two gas springs and the whole assembly is mounted on a trolley. This solution allows an easier and quick connection to the hub of the vehicle.
