About W.Y. International
Today’s vehicles and their high-tech braking systems require precision rotor re-surfacing with minimal run-out. It’s not the brake lathe machines that can’t keep up with today’s technology, it’s the adapters. Rotors and Drums were being re-surfaced using 50-year-old technology such as cones and clamping cups. These types of adapters are difficult to set up and the numerous cones and cups it takes to adapt up to 1-ton vehicles can reach well over 25 pieces. We felt there had to be a better way.
In 1993, we developed the Quick Chuck Adapter. This unique idea revolutionized the machining process of hub-less and composite brake rotors and drums. The Quick Chuck provides quick error free set-up on all hub-less rotors and drums up to 1-ton vehicles, with precision mounting and accuracy that is proven and patented. (U.S. patent no. 5,224,307)
This innovation and technology has allowed us to develop other unique products exclusively for Hennessey Industries. Hennessey is the manufacturer of Ammco brake lathes and Coats tire changers and balancers. Inside you’ll find the Ammco Double Chuck (U.S. patent no. 6,601,485) and Coats Balancer Chuck provides the solutions to get the job done.
