New!

This will change the concept of disc reconditioning on trucks and buses. No more time loss while disassembling the disc for bench turning. Machining operations will be done directly on the hub.

On-The-Truck Brake Disc Lathe

The disc lathe is mounted on a swinging and height-adjustable self-aligning saddle that guarantees the perfect matching between the machine and hub. In addition, the machine body has an empty central part that does not interfere with the truck reducer (especially on rear axles) — enabling a very close positioning to the disc for a precise reconditioning operation. Finally, the intermittent and adjustable feed guarantees a perfect finish on any surface.

Comec TCE560

On-The-Truck Brake Shoe Lathe

Perfect for turning brake shoes on trucks and buses. The brake shoe lathe is operated directly on the gear unit hub axle or conventional axles (even with mounted internal bearing). The high-speed rotation, together with the sequential feed and adjustable control stop, ensures excellent surface finishing, cylindricity and concentricity precision. Our On-the-truck brake shoe lathe can work under the hardest conditions (double or triple differential gear, transmission shaft connected, frozen oil, etc.).

On-The-Truck Lathe Service Area

We service customers for our On-The-Truck Brake Shoe Lathe and Brake Disc Lathe service from Waikato, Rotorua and up to Taupo as well as throughout our home territory of Tauranga (Bay of Plenty).

Machining Truck Drums of All Sizes

Due to ongoing requests, Mobile Flywheel Machining has invested in a Comec TR1000 Heavy Drum Brake Lathe for Machining Truck Drums of all sizes.

All drums with hubs and most popular drums without hubs can be machined to your specification.

The only dependent would be the hub adaptors availability if the vehicle hub can't be supplied. Please contact me for a list of the available hub adaptors.

We are currently operating the brake lathe out of the Transport Maintenance Ltd. premises located at 35 Maleme Street, Greerton, Tauranga. We offer a drop off service to this location or overnight service. Drums can be collected or delivered with prior arrangements.

Why Flywheels need machining

Just like brake discs and brake drums, flywheels wear. It is crucial that the flywheel is machined back to the manufacturer’s specifications. This ensures that the clutch pressure plate applies the correct pressure to the clutch plate. Otherwise, the clutch will prematurely wear and begin to slip.

Glazing and discolouration are signs of wear and can prevent the clutch from engaging smoothly.

All new clutch kits require flywheel machining for the warranty to be valid.

Why Brake Drums need machining

When brake shoes are replaced we highly recommend brake drums are machined as well. Brake drums rely on good contact between the brake shoes and the brake drum. As the drums get older, they can get scored and wear unevenly. They may also warp a bit due to constantly getting hot and cold in normal operation.

When the shoes are replaced, they have a perfect surface and if the old drum is installed without machining back to a perfect surface, the shoes only grip on the high points and brake efficiency can be poor.

Brake drum machining is one of the most important maintenance measures that you should take when caring for a vehicle. It is an integral part of the braking system and responsible for keeping the braking system working properly.

Brake drum machining may also be required when there is a brake pedal pulse, brake efficiency and balance fault.

Why Brake Discs need machining

When brake pads are replaced we highly recommend brake discs are machined. Brake pads rely on good contact between the brake pad and the brake rotor. As the pads get older, they can get scored and wear unevenly. They may also warp a bit due to constantly getting hot and cold in normal operation.

When the brake pads are replaced they have a perfect surface and if disc pads are installed without machining the disc rotor back to a perfect surface, the disc pads only grip on the high points and brake efficiency can be poor.

Brake disc machining is one of the most important maintenance measures that you should take when caring for a vehicle. It is an integral part of the braking system and responsible for keeping the braking system working properly.

Brake disc machining may also be required when there is a brake pedal pulse, brake efficiency and balance fault. A warped disc rotor can cause disc pad knockback leading to a spongy pedal and brake imbalance.
