Cutsforth built their business by providing an exceptional quality of service truing slip rings under full load and at operating temperature. However, they were still approached periodically to “re-True” the slip rings. Being a true engineering company wanting to visit a problem once and solve it permanently, they set out to discover the reason, or reasons, that the slip rings were not staying true.

Eventually, they determined that the cause of the problem was not the slip rings, nor the brushes, but the brush boxes. Using their engineering skills and specialist knowledge, they re-invented the brush holders and are now supplying a system that has solved generator and motor slip ring problems permanently.
