Ammco Brake Lathe Task Light
For professional mechanics, reliable tools make everyday work easier and safer.
The Challenge
Brake lathe work requires dependable repositioning of a light source to see fine machining details. Hennessy’s earlier designs frequently broke when technicians adjusted the lamp. The switches also failed due to brake dust and debris.
The Solution
Moffatt redesigned the system to improve durability and usability. The team developed a 540-degree adjustable lamp shade and strengthened the mounting components.
Additional improvements included:
- A sealed toggle boot to protect the switch
- Reinforced materials for durability
- Color-matched components to align with the existing product line
The Results
The updated design dramatically extended the product's lifespan. The matched color made the light look like it belonged with the machine and enhanced the overall appearance. Technicians can now reposition the light repeatedly without damaging the assembly.
Benefits include:
- Increased durability in dusty environments
- Improved illumination control
- Longer switch life
- Reduced product failures
