Brake Calipers & Discs

  • Industry Context & Processing Challenges: Ductile iron (GGG50) brake calipers require window milling and cross-hole machining with heavy interrupted cuts, while brake disc friction faces demand precision face turning with tight thickness variation control.
  • Technical Requirements: Disc thickness variation (DTV) within microns to prevent brake judder, and burr-free caliper features for safe assembly.
  • ZWH Tooling Solutions & Value: ZWH CBN disc-turning inserts deliver superior DTV control on friction faces, and ZWH high-feed indexable cutters with tough coated grades handle caliper window roughing with excellent edge strength under interrupted cuts.
