Brake disc lathe for turning brake discs These lathes are required to produce brake discs on passenger cars. Brake discs of a motor vehicle A passenger vehicle usually has a brake disc if it is equipped with four wheels per wheel. Brake systems are designed individually for each vehicle model. It has become established that a redundant braking system is available, so that braking safety is increased. Brake discs serve to form a friction surface for a braking process. This should be extremely stable and reliable. A uniform decrease in energy, which is converted from kinetic energy to thermal energy, must be ensured. During the braking process, large forces are released which must not restrict the control process of the vehicle. The use of anti-lock braking systems means that a vehicle can still be controlled when braking. Brake disc lathes and brake disc lathes Brake discs are produced on machines for the machining of turned parts. Precise workmanship is essential, as there should be an even weighting, so that a constant and continuous braking process is ensured. Some lathes can also be used very mobile for subsequent adjustment and reworking on the vehicle. These cutting machines are usually smaller in their construction and they can machine them directly in the wheel housing without removing the brake discs. Brake disc lathes are more generously equipped with a shelf, tool holders, lamps and an extensive work surface on which all work steps for the machining of brake discs can be carried out. An example of a brake disc lathe from Ranger Products is the RL 8500 with manual control.
