Advantages:

Consistent and high-quality undercutting results over time.
No manual operation required: a fast, clean, and safe process.
Possible combination with other functions (brushing, turning, welding, banding and coil leads cut off).
Possibility to perform the undercutting process in one single passage initial bar chamfer, final bar chamfer, final bar chamfer at dust groove and also the chamfer along the entire mica.
Full compliance with 4.0 Industry requirements.

Technical features:

Micrometric positioning of the cutter thanks to automatic bar search and indexing systems.
Possibility to choose from 3 different undercutting programs to select the most suitable undercutting mode for the commutator being treated.
Linear interpolation of the electrical axes, allowing for linear variations in undercutting depth at the beginning and end of the commutator.
Possibility of mounting a dedicated unit for commutator brushing and for the rounding off of undercut bar edges.
Possibility to install the undercutting unit in multi-function machines, which combine multiple work functions (brushing, turning, welding, banding and coil leads cut off.).
Integrated remote assistance module: Rimac technicians can remotely connect to the machine and initiate a real-time remote assistance session. By accessing the control panel and PLC and checking the machine’s operation, the Rimac technician can intervene directly to resolve issues or provide timely guidance. The module can be connected via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or GSM.
