Broomfield Rotor Winder
Marathon Electric, in an effort to provide better delivery times and customer service, has installed a new Broomfield M-900 cantilevered generator rotor winder dedicated to 740F product. The equipment reduces changeover time of the previous rotor winder and provides a much needed increase in throughput on the winding line.
