Latest Patents
Hirohiko Nishio holds a patent for a "Method and device for cutting braking surfaces of a brake rotor." This invention presents a cutting method that efficiently cuts the braking surfaces of a brake rotor within a wheel bearing assembly. The process involves aligning a reference surface on one side of a vehicle body-mounting flange with positioning pieces of a positioning member. The outer member of the wheel bearing assembly is then clamped by a chuck device. By advancing pushrods of first and second pressing devices, the inner member is pressed axially, allowing the assembly to reach an actual mounted state. The inner member and the brake rotor are rotated, while a cutting tool is moved parallel to the reference surface to achieve precise cuts on the braking surfaces.
