The BRC500 series design starts with an extra-heavy-duty rigid and strong foundation, machined to exacting precision standards by highly experienced and trained German machinists using the most sophisticated computerized machine tools available. This design, matched with specially machined guides and ways with extra-heavy-duty cutting tools and tool holders, provides the precision rigid geometry needed for a near perfect rotor or drum. The BRC500 series is a world product line with this foundation produced by RTI`s partner, Hunger, the largest brake lathe manufacturer in Germany with more than 30 years of experience. Final assembly and quality testing is at RTI in the US.

RTI adds new technology with special constant torque, infinitely variable speed feed motors controlled electronically with special Pulse Width Modulation controls. From high speed rough cut to extra fine "burnishing" speed for fast and precise results. We searched the world for the best smooth running spindle drive motor with no vibration. We connected this motor using high tech "quick change" multi-groove belts and a special high torque roller chain, again to eliminate vibration. There are two spindle speeds, 110 and 220 RPM. At the extra high spindle speed, the fastest in the industry, a better surface finish is possible at all feed speeds, 0.0015"-0.010" per spindle revolution.
