Automatic CV Brake Lining Grinding Line
The Automatic CV Brake Shoe Lining Grinding Line is a remarkable innovation in CV manufacturing. It comprehensively processes brake shoe linings, handling key steps like sides chamfering, inner/outer arc grinding, warning line grinding, and precise rivet holes drilling. It also allows for extra processes such as printing and dust brushing, and can be linked to a packing line for streamlined production.
In the ever – evolving commercial vehicle (CV) manufacturing industry, the Brake Linings Grinding Line, developed by top – tier Brake Linings Grinding Machinery Maker, represents a significant leap forward. These leading manufacturers have leveraged advanced technology and engineering know – how to create a production line that sets new standards for efficiency and precision in the production of CV brake shoe linings, with a series of advanced Brake Linings Grinding Machines.
1. Overview and Functionality
The Brake Linings Grinding Line is a comprehensive and customized solution for the complex processing of CV brake shoe linings. It undertakes a sequence of essential manufacturing processes:
- Sides Chamfering: This process not only improves the appearance of the brake linings but also ensures a proper fit and function within the brake system.
- Inner Arc Grinding: By precisely grinding the inner arc, the brake lining can better conform to the drum’s surface, optimizing braking performance.
- Warning Line Grinding: Creating a warning line is crucial as it serves as a visual indicator for the approaching end of the brake lining’s service life, enhancing safety.
- Rivet Holes Drilling: High – precision drilling of rivet holes is essential for securely attaching the friction material to the backing plate.
- Outer Arc Grinding: This process refines the shape of the brake lining, guaranteeing smooth and efficient braking.
Moreover, the line offers great flexibility in additional processes. It can be seamlessly integrated with laser printing and inkjet printing for marking important information such as part numbers, manufacturing dates, and quality certifications. Dust brushing is available to maintain a clean production environment, and a packing line can be connected to streamline the entire production process from raw materials to the final packaged products.
2. Customization
One of the line’s prominent features is its high – degree customization. It is carefully designed according to customers’ specific requirements. Brake lining size, including inner arc radius, width, thickness, and chord length within the specified range, can be easily adjusted.
Production capacity is also considered. For high – volume manufacturers, the line can be configured for high – speed and high – precision operation to maximize output. For smaller – scale producers, it can be optimized for flexibility and cost – effectiveness.
3. Control System
Equipped with a state – of – the – art control system that combines PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technologies, the production line enables highly precise and reliable operation. Operators can directly set action and process parameters through an intuitive touch – screen interface, such as grinding speed, drilling depth, and chamfering angle, ensuring consistent quality in all production runs.
4. Production Adaptability
The Brake Linings Grinding Line is especially suitable for the mass production of a single model of brake lining, significantly boosting productivity with its high – speed and high – precision operations. However, it also has a certain level of adaptability for model changes. When switching to a new model, operators only need to change the fixture molds on the drilling machine and the outer arc grinding machine, a simple process that can be completed quickly. Then, they can recall the preset model parameters from the PLC system of each machine, minimizing downtime.
5. Technical Parameters
5.1 CV Brake Lining Size Range
- Inner Arc Radius: The line can process brake linings with an inner arc radius ranging from R180 to R205, meeting various design demands in the automotive industry.
- Width: The maximum width of the brake linings it can handle is 250mm, determining the types of brake shoes it can accommodate, whether for light – or heavy – duty commercial vehicles.
- Thickness: With a thickness range of 12 – 30mm, the line can work with different material thicknesses to ensure the necessary strength and performance of the brake linings.
- Chord Length: The chord length of the brake linings can range from 135 to 250mm, demonstrating its adaptability to different brake lining geometries.
5.2 Components of the Production Line
- CV Brake Lining CNC Out Arc Rough Grinder (Optional): Responsible for the initial rough grinding of the outer arc, quickly removing excess material and shaping it for subsequent fine – grinding.
- CV Brake Lining CNC Inner Arc Combined Grinder: Precisely grinds the inner arc by combining multiple grinding operations, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
- CV Brake Lining Warning Line Grinder: Creates the warning line, an important safety feature.
- CV Brake Lining CNC Hole Drilling Machine: Drills rivet holes with high precision for a secure connection.
- CV Brake Lining CNC Out Arc Grinder: Performs the final fine – grinding of the outer arc to achieve the required surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
- Dust Brushing: Removes dust and debris generated during grinding and drilling to keep the production environment clean.
- Curve Side Color Painting Machine: Can apply color or decorative paint on the curve sides of the brake linings for customization.
- Laser Printing: Marks important information like part numbers, batch numbers, and manufacturing dates on the brake linings.
5.3 Overall Size of the Line
- U – style: Without the outer arc rough grinder, the U – style configuration has an overall size of 9x8m, favored for its compact installation when space utilization is crucial.
- Straight: Also without the outer arc rough grinder, the straight – style configuration measures 13.5x3m, more suitable for production facilities with a linear workflow or high – volume production needs.
In conclusion, the Automatic CV Brake Shoe Lining Grinding Line is a sophisticated and versatile solution, providing a comprehensive set of features for the efficient production of high – quality CV brake shoe linings.
