Brake Pads Combined Grinding Machine

As the automation trend in brake pad production continues to grow, our equipment is at the forefront, with application scenarios that are constantly being optimized and improved. This enables manufacturers to achieve flexible production of brake pads, adapting quickly to changing market demands and customer requirements. Invest in our Full PLC Controlled Brake Pads Combined Grinding Line and experience the future of brake pad manufacturing today.

In the highly competitive world of brake pad manufacturing, efficiency, precision, and innovation are the keys to success. Our Full PLC Controlled Brake Pads Combined Grinding Line is a game-changer, designed to meet and exceed the evolving demands of the industry.

• Unmatched Machining Capabilities

This state-of-the-art grinding line is a multi-purpose powerhouse, integrating essential processes for brake pad friction surface grinding into a single, highly efficient unit. It combines slotting, surface grinding, chamfering, and dust brushing, offering a comprehensive solution that can be further enhanced with Full PLC control.

• Versatile Slotting Options

The slotting function provides a wide range of choices. For straight grooves, manufacturers can opt for 1 or 2 grooves, while for slant grooves, the option of 1 or 2 grooves is also available (though the basic type has limitations in processing slant grooves). This flexibility allows for customization based on specific brake pad designs and performance requirements, ensuring optimal heat dissipation and braking performance.

• Precision Grinding Stages

Coarse grinding sets the stage by removing excess material, preparing the surface for the fine grinding process. Fine grinding then achieves a smooth and polished finish, enhancing the friction characteristics of the brake pad. Our advanced grinding technology guarantees consistent quality and surface integrity, resulting in superior braking efficiency and reduced wear.

• Chamfering for Performance and Aesthetics

The chamfering capabilities include both straight and slant chamfers, with the choice of Flat or J Angle (again, the basic type has restrictions on slant chamfering). These chamfers not only improve the appearance of the brake pad but also enhance its functionality by reducing edge stress and promoting better contact with the braking system.

• Efficient Dust Management

We understand the importance of a clean working environment. Our grinding line offers the choice of brush or air blow for dust cleaning, ensuring that debris is effectively removed during the machining process. This not only maintains the quality of the grinding but also extends the lifespan of the equipment and promotes a healthier workplace.

• Optional Cover for Added Protection

An optional cover is available, providing additional protection for the grinding process and the machine components. This cover can enhance safety and reduce the risk of foreign objects interfering with the machining operations.

• Advanced PLC Control for Unrivalled Precision

With Full PLC control, our grinding line takes precision and efficiency to new heights. The PLC system allows for seamless adjustment of critical components:

• Two Down Travelling Railways

The precise control of the down travelling railways ensures accurate positioning of the brake pads during the machining process, minimizing errors and maximizing productivity.

• Up Guide Plates Linkage Adjustment

The linkage adjustment of the up guide plates is optimized by the PLC, ensuring smooth and consistent movement of the brake pads, further enhancing the quality of the grinding and chamfering operations.

• Rough and Fine Grinding Motors

The power and speed of the rough and fine grinding motors can be finely tuned by the PLC, allowing for precise control over the material removal rate and surface finish. This adaptability enables the machine to handle different brake pad materials and thicknesses with ease.

• Slotting Motor and Angle Adjustment

The slotting motor’s operation and the angle of the slots can be precisely adjusted, ensuring that the grooves are cut to the exact specifications required for each brake pad model.

• Chamfer Motor and Slant Chamfer Grinding

The chamfer motor and the slant chamfer grinding process are also under the control of the PLC, guaranteeing accurate and consistent chamfering, even for complex geometries.

★It’s important to note that for the basic type of combined grinding machine, the adjustment of these parts is manually done via hand wheels. However, upgrading to the Full PLC control offers significant advantages in terms of productivity, precision, and ease of operation.

• Special Manipulator for Automated Loading

To further enhance the efficiency of the production process, we have designed a special manipulator for automatic loading of brake pads onto the combined grinding machine. This innovative device works by using a sensor to identify the travel frequency of the push plates of the grinding machine. By matching this frequency, the manipulator can load brake pads with remarkable precision and speed.

• Enhanced Loading Efficiency

The loading and placing efficiency of the manipulator is not less than 30 pieces/minute, perfectly synchronized with the combined grinding machine’s speed. This means that the production process is seamless and uninterrupted, maximizing output and reducing idle time.

• Space-Efficient Design

The manipulator occupies an area of about 2.5m in front of the combined grinding machine, making it a practical addition to any production facility without requiring excessive space.

• Optimal Loading Length

With a loading length of 2 meters for brake pads, the manipulator can handle a significant number of parts at once, further increasing its efficiency and productivity.

• High Efficiency, Low Cost, and Maintenance-Free

This manipulator is designed to be highly efficient, cost-effective, and virtually maintenance-free. It not only reduces the labor intensity of workers but also improves overall production efficiency, allowing one worker to supervise the operation of two combined grinding machines and the loading work simultaneously.
