Production efficiency
Each press is equipped with its own backplate manipulator, materials loader, and brushes. As a result, most operations can be performed simultaneously across multiple presses, eliminating bottlenecks and increasing overall production capacity.
Having components dedicated to each individual press also extends their service life, minimizing breakdowns and reducing productivity losses to the lowest possible level.
Uniform pressure
A double-acting hydraulic cylinder ensures equal pressure on all brake pads, compensating for differences in weight and guaranteeing consistent density from one pad to another.
Ease of use
No mechanical regulations needed during the mould change and no manual adjustments of parameters for temperature or pressure control.
Automatic regulation of: temperature, proportional valves flow rate and weighing systems vibrators speed.
Loading and distribution of the materials
Thanks to our materials loader with rotating levelling blade the distribution of friction material and under-layer is uniform over the entire pad surface.
The friction material is compacted before loading the underlayer by means of two pneumatically actuated punches. The mould cavity height is monitored by a linear transducer with an accuracy of ±0.2 mm.
Simultaneous production of different pad models
The machines can simultaneously produce different brake pads. A machine equipped with 12 presses arranged on 4 lines can operate at the same time with 12 different moulds, using completely different pressing cycles, 4 different friction materials, and 4 different under-layer. This flexibility allows you to optimize the moulds cost since for each pad model you can build the minimum number of moulds that meets your production.
Mould change
To change a mould only the corresponding press is stopped, while the other presses continue in the production. The press will be moved out of the line by an oleodynamic piston, so as to have access to three sides of the press.
Once changed the mould, the press can restart the automatic cycle. It is sufficient to input the relative number on the PC to automatically regulate all curing parameters.
High capacity
All the 6 presses of a group can work with a minimum curing time of 1 minute; this means that it is possible to produce:
- up to 720 pads/hour with 12 presses Mod. T80c2 (2-cavities mould)
- up to 1320 pads/hour with 12 presses Mod. T160c2/4 (4-cavities mould)
Pressure
Possibility of having the presses of a line to work with very different pressure values.
Possibility of working with different pressure during the same curing cicle.
Each press has a dedicated pump to have oil always available to perform degassing at the programmed time.
Temperature
Uniform temperature on the pad thanks to mould heating performed at different points: punches, die and top plate. The punches are heated in their upper section, close to the friction material.
