In operation, successful grinding of coated brake discs

04. March 2024

The automotive industry is undergoing significant change, driven by constant innovation and stricter environmental regulations. In this dynamic environment, Supfina has taken on a key role. With the introduction of the Supfina Planet BD, a specialized system for grinding hard-coated brake discs, the company is setting new standards in precision and efficiency. The Supfina Planet BD is already successfully in use and is highly valued by renowned customers.

The need for such innovation has been reinforced by the introduction of the Euro 7 emission standard. Hard-coated brake discs, which make a significant contribution to reducing particulate emissions while providing the necessary corrosion protection for electric vehicles, have come into focus. Supfina responded to this challenge by developing, in collaboration with brake disc manufacturers and coaters, an economical solution for double-disc grinding of the brake discs. This solution considers the entire process chain and precisely aligns the grinding process with previous steps.

The Supfina Planet BD features a patented, force-neutral grinding process that enables a significant improvement in shape and positional tolerances. This method not only optimizes tool life but also substantially reduces piece costs. Additionally, the machine bed made of mineral casting contributes to high precision by providing excellent thermal stability, vibration damping, and chemical resistance to coolant fluids.

The Planet BD is characterized by its specific adaptability to grinding coated brake discs. Its extreme rigidity and vibration damping enable short cycle times and ensure economical tool wear, with the highest precision and accuracy. Additionally, loading and unloading can be automated for various input and output systems, allowing smooth integration into different manufacturing processes and leading to further cost savings.

In conclusion, the Supfina Planet BD represents a forward-thinking solution that has already garnered significant market resonance. The machine combines technological innovations with precise execution to meet today's demands in brake technology. Its ability to enhance both performance and sustainability makes it a relevant contribution in a rapidly evolving sector. This suggests that the Supfina Planet BD not only addresses current challenges but also has the potential to influence standards in the future of brake system manufacturing.
