If you want to accelerate progress, you need better brakes.

Progress in automotive development always pushes the limits of what is technically feasible. Increasingly, however, there are also additional requirements today, such as efficiency, sustainability and environmental compatibility, as demonstrated by the new Euro7 standard.

Combining the demands of top technical performance with those of environmental compatibility is a challenge in itself. To implement the whole thing efficiently and economically is clearly a case for DVS UGrind.

• Double-sided machining in the double surface grinding process
• extreme dimensional accuracy due to in-process measuring method
• fast loading and unloading by robot systems
• high workpiece throughput at low tool costs

In order to machine the latest generation of brake discs using the double surface grinding process, we have equipped a DVS UGrind with two opposing grinding spindles. We ensure dimensional accuracy by means of in-process measurement. In the machine, the position in the Z-direction and the thickness of the brake disc are determined before machining. On this basis, the brake disc is ground to size on both sides.

The DVS UGrind 800 is designed for workpieces with tip widths of up to 1,200 mm, while the DVS UGrind 1500 is recommended for larger ones of up to 1,800 mm. Both workshop machines for universal hard finishing feature the same advantages and reduce machining times by up to 80%.

• Efficient complete machining with grinding, turning and measuring tools on a single multifunction head
• Ideal for small to medium batch sizes of shafts and chuck parts with a center width of up to 1,800 mm
• Machine bed made of natural granite for high dynamic and thermal rigidity
• Consistently precise machining results thanks to hydrostatically mounted tailstock
• Faster to target dimensions thanks to intuitive DVS UCee operating system
• Only 7 or 8.5 m² floor space including coolant system
• Optionally with universal ULoad loading unit
