Automotive brake discs are typically pearlitic gray cast iron with lamellar graphite. Evaluate graphite morphology & distribution (ASTM A247), pearlite fraction/lamellae, chill/white-iron depth, and carbides/inclusions on radial & tangential sections (outside/middle/inside).

Why QC is essential ?
Non-uniform microstructure or excessive chill can drive thermal cracks, hot spots, DTV, and NVH/judder—leading to warranty returns and safety risks. Consistent prep + controlled etching expose these risks before parts reach vehicles.
At the push of a button, Velox 102 executes your full sequence with traceable recipes and repeatable outputs—cutting rework and accelerating approvals in brake manufacturing labs.




Velox 102 Features & Advantages:
- 10-Disc Automatic Exchange → uninterrupted, operator-free step transitions.
- Dual-Station Design (planar + fine grind/polish) → end-to-end flow on one platform.
- Automatic Sample Cleaning & Drying (water, ethanol, ultrasonic) → inspection-ready surfaces.
- 8-Line Peristaltic Dosing → precise suspension delivery, lower consumable waste.
- 9.7” Touch HMI & Recipe Library → traceable, repeatable results across shifts.
- Sample-Holder Feeder (queue) → continuous, high-throughput operation.
- Consistent, Operator-Independent Quality → reduced scrap/rework and lower total cost.
- Compact, Safety-First Platform → integrates smoothly into busy materials labs.
