DEVICE FOR TURNING OF BRAKE DISKS OR THE LIKE INCLUDING AN AUTOMATIC RUNOUT COMPENSATION UNIT

摘要

This is an automatic runout compensation device for brake disk turning equipment which includes a system able to perform real detection of runout because it employs a direct feeler type of system and does not use an accelerometer device. The device (1) in question basically consists of support structure (2) where special runout detecting device (3) is installed plus an appliance for elaborating the centering device control signals and special aligning joint (4) powered by motor (5). Runout detecting device (3) includes a linear movement detector meaning an electronic comparator preferably using LVDT technology or the like, that is firmly fastened to the lathe in a position suitably distant fr om the rotation axis of aligning joint (4) in order to amplify the effect of the runout.
