Brake Pads Automatic Pressing System

System Integration & Core Operational Procedures

Developed by Fu Chun Jiang Brake Pads Making Machines, the Brake Pads Automatic Pressing System is a fully integrated solution combining a precision weighing system, 1 to 6 hot pressers, traveling rack-mounted automatic manipulators, and complementary auxiliary components.
Its streamlined core production workflow covers all key stages of brake pad manufacturing:
  • High-precision weighing of single-layer or double-layer friction mixtures, ensuring formula consistency.
  • Friction mixture flattening, with an optional pre-pressing step for products requiring an under-layer.
  • Automated transfer of material trays between production stations, eliminating manual handling.
  • Accurate feeding of friction mixtures into pressing molds, guaranteeing uniform filling.
  • Automated gripping and handling of finished brake pads post-pressing.
  • In-situ mold cleaning to maintain surface integrity and ensure consistent production quality.

Modular Design for Flexibility & Maintainability

The system features a modular architecture, designed to facilitate easy maintenance, future expansion, and flexible configuration based on production needs. It is divided into four coordinated functional blocks, each dedicated to a specific set of tasks for seamless operation.

Precision Weighing Module: Ensuring Formula Accuracy

  • Comprises a top-layer mixture weigher and an under-layer mixture weigher, with weighed materials temporarily stored in a feeder for subsequent processing.
  • For single-layer brake pad formulas, the system can be customized with a single weigher to optimize cost efficiency.
  • Weighing precision is calibrated to meet strict industry standards, ensuring stable and consistent product performance batch after batch.

Feeder Trolley: The Connective Core of Production Continuity

As a critical link in the production line, the feeder trolley integrates multiple functions to enhance operational continuity and efficiency:
  • Transports friction material trays to designated stations for material loading and retrieval.
  • Performs friction mixture flattening to ensure uniform material distribution before pressing.
  • Executes pre-pressing for under-layer mixtures, creating a solid base for subsequent hot pressing processes.

Traveling Rack Automatic Manipulator: Full Automation Executive Component

A signature design of Fu Chun Jiang Brake Pads Making Machines, the traveling rack automatic manipulator serves as the system’s core executive unit, enabling fully automated production without manual intervention.
  • Grips and transfers material trays between the feeder trolley and hot pressers with high precision.
  • Controls the discharging of friction mixtures into molds with exact positional accuracy, reducing material waste.
  • Grips finished brake pads post-pressing and transfers them to the next production station.
  • Cleans molds efficiently after pressing and returns empty trays to the initial position for reuse.

Hot Presser Module: Flexible Configuration for Diverse Needs

  • The number of hot pressers is flexibly configured based on the hot pressing time requirements of different brake pad formulas—fewer pressers for short pressing cycles to avoid idle equipment, and up to 6 pressers for long pressing cycles to maximize production efficiency.
  • Presser tonnage and mold cavities are fully customized according to the specific brake pad model and the pressure requirements of the formula.
