Our Automatic
TIG Welding Machine was purchased specifically
for the repair of DC traction motors.
This video clip shows the armature coils
being welded to the commutator risers
as the armature indexes from one bar
to the next. These welds are done with
unprecedented
accuracy as illustrated by the accompanying
photographs. |

|
| Our Automatic
Undercutting Machine was acquired in
order to speed up the commutator undercutting
process. Once the set-up is complete
the machine precisely indexes and undercuts
the commutator mica and chamfers the
bars to specified tolerances. |

|
| Our Automatic
Spin Seasoning Machine was also purchased
specifically for the repair of DC traction
motors. This machine stress relieves
the newly installed commutators through
a series of heating and cooling cycles
at excessive RPMs. This video (although
the cover is closed) demonstrates a
portion of the 20 minute run at 4,300
RPM. |

| Our Banding
Machine was purchased with the hopes
of better controlling the banding tension,
auto feed and revolutions. This machine
is able to band at much higher tensions
than traditional banding techniques. |

| Rotors,
armatures, rotating fields, turbines,
impellers and fans are placed into our
balancing stands where each piece is
balanced by adding or removing weight
to/from specific areas. Our balancing
equipment shows how much weight needs
to be added or removed from where to
quickly achieve a perfectly balanced
piece. |

| These video
clips show a DC traction motor being
load tested on our Power Test 2,100HP
Dynamometer. The motor is coupled to
the dynamometer and water is introduced
into the dyno causing resistance against
the motor. Horsepower and torque are
adjusted with a precision valve that
controls the water flow. |

No
Load Motor Testing (300K)

| This video
clip shows a DC traction motor starting
up during the 4,300 RPM portion of its
no load test. |

This
video clip shows the molten metal
spray powder being sprayed into the
bearing housing of a motor endbell.
Once the repaired surface is allowed
to cool it is machined to the proper
dimensions for a perfect bearing fit.
