The Ranger Heavy-Duty RL-8500XLT Brake Lathe
The expertly crafted RL-8500XLT brake lathe resurfaces brakes quickly and precisely. Like the RL-8500, the RL-8500XLT features unlimited feed rate settings, allowing the user to modify resurfacing rates with an easy turn of the dial. It is easier than ever to decrease or amplify the cut duration for the perfect finish, whether you’re rushing through the first rough cut or performing a single-pass micro-finish. The RL-8500XLT comes with everything you could need which includes a sturdy bench, and ample tool storage backboards that will keep your adapters nearby at all times.
The beauty of the RL-8500XLT comes from its design. It brings forward new innovative ideas while retaining the classic look and feel that technicians are familiar with. It implements DC servo motor controls for the cross feed and spindle feed drives, which means that Ranger has done away with needing unnecessary mechanical gearboxes and transmissions that were used in older brake lathes. The RL-8500XLT is built to last, and to that end you will find you are saving money on lifetime repair and maintenance costs.
A common issue that affects brake lathes is vibration and chatter transfer that will directly affect the tool-tip. You’ll know when that affects you because you will find an imperfect cut on the machined surface. Fortunately the RL-8500XLT is specifically designed to address this issue by eliminating the need for gear-driven mechanical drives and variable-speed transmission devices.
The extended-edition RL-8500XLT offers some of the best features, best performance, and best productivity possible in a brake lathing unit. Invest in a quality machine like this to take your shop to the next level.
