BRUS - transformer lead grinder

A grinder with an adjustable-width fixture that processes aluminum and copper leads of different sizes, starts only when the hood is closed and switches on the vacuum cleaner automatically.

How it works

Safe grinding with mechanical hood interlock

BRUS has an adjustable-width fixture for several types of aluminum and copper leads used in the production of transformers. The operator places the lead in the fixture and closes the protective hood.

The grinder starts only when the hood is closed and the foot pedal is pressed. The grinder has a connection for a vacuum cleaner that switches on at the same time as the grinder, immediately removing the dust produced by grinding.

Installed equipment and features

Technical details

Adjustable fixture

One fixture covers several lead sizes without a tool change.

Hood interlock

A limit switch on the hood allows the grinder to run only when the hood is lowered - raising the hood physically cuts off the power supply.

Automatic extraction

The vacuum cleaner switches on at the same time as the grinder and immediately removes the dust produced by grinding.

Built in two units

For Končar D&ST we built two identical BRUS machines for parallel operation on the line.
