Wickert supplies fully automatic press systems for calibrating and hot bonding these friction discs, which enable both maximum precision in temperature control in the tool and maximum geometric precision in the tool, which in turn has a positive effect on the thickness variance of the friction lining itself and not only on the reliable bonding of the friction layers to the steel carrier.
Depending on the desired output quantity, the presses themselves can be operated with the corresponding automation concept in “nested bonding” with several cavities or individually manually in a single-station concept.
The traceability of production and process data, which is transferred to the customer's higher-level MES systems, plays a key role here.
