Overview

The M160 integrates six process stations into one compact, fully automated line. Brake discs move through precision dimensional measurement, eddy current crack inspection, dynamic balancing, natural-frequency testing and laser marking without manual handling — delivering complete, traceable quality verification at production speed.

Built for high-volume brake disc manufacturing, the M160 runs a 30-second cycle time, helping manufacturers move from sampling inspection to inline inspection of every disc.

Key Capabilities

Dimensional Measurement

Full geometric inspection of critical disc dimensions with LVDT displacement sensors.

Eddy Current Crack Detection

Automatic detection of surface cracks and material defects on every disc.

Dynamic Balancing

Balance test, automatic material removal and re-check completed in a single station.

Natural Frequency Testing

FFT-based structural integrity check on every disc before shipment.

Laser Marking

Permanent traceability marking and QR code for full part history.

Automatic Material Handling

Roller conveyor loading and unloading — no operator intervention required.

Why Choose the M160

Built-in dynamic balancing — eliminates the need for a separate balancing machine.
Compact footprint — space-saving gantry design saves floor space.
High flexibility — quick changeover for multiple disc variants.
Proven reliability — deployed across high-volume production lines worldwide.

What the M160 Measures and How

Six stations, one line. Every brake disc is checked for dimensions, cracks, balance and structural integrity — without manual handling.

Dimensions

LVDT Gauging

LVDT displacement sensors measure critical disc dimensions. Every disc is checked, not just samples.

Balancing

Closed-Loop Dynamic Balancing

Piezoelectric sensors detect imbalance. The machine automatically removes material and re-checks — all in one station.

Crack Detection

Eddy Current NDT

Eddy current sensors inspect every disc for surface cracks and material defects. No destructive testing needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can the M160 inspect in one line?
The M160 integrates dimensional gauging, eddy current crack detection, dynamic balancing, natural frequency testing and laser marking into one fully automated line. The disc stays on the conveyor throughout — no manual handling between stations.
How does the M160 differ from the M150?
The M160 has six inspection stations compared to the M150's five. Both share the same 30-second cycle time, sensor types and modular design. The additional station allows an extra inspection step within the same compact footprint.
What disc sizes can the M160 handle?
The M160 covers brake discs from 255 mm to 450 mm outer diameter.
What is the cycle time?
The M160 is built for a 30-second cycle time, with automatic roller conveyor loading and unloading.
Which sensors does the M160 use?
Dimensions are measured with LVDT displacement sensors. Balancing uses piezoelectric sensors. Crack detection uses eddy current sensors. Natural frequency testing uses an accelerometer or a microphone.
How are inspection results recorded?
Every disc can be marked with a pneumatic pin or a laser, including an optional laser QR code. The code links the disc to its dimension, balance and crack detection results for full traceability.
Is the M160 suitable for high-volume production?
Yes. The 30-second cycle time and automatic roller conveyor loading and unloading make the M160 suitable for high-volume brake disc manufacturing lines.
