HIGH PRECISION WEAR INDICATION OF CARBON CERAMIC BRAKE DISCS

THE HISTORY AND UNIQUENESS OF CARBON CERAMIC BRAKE DISCS Since its world premiere at the Frankfurt International Automobile Show (IAA 1999), the carbon ceramic brake disc has been gaining rapid recognition and usage within the premium class automobile community: Porsche, Pagani, Lexus, Mercedes-AMG, McLaren, Maserati, BMW and the list keeps growing. The inspiration for the carbon ceramic brake disc derived from the continuous quest for performance perfection in racing and high performance road cars, high speed railway braking systems and in supersonic aircraft. The product as it is today...

CARBOTEQ® – PATENTED TECHNOLOGY Early prototypes were extensively tested with selected automobile OEMs with astounding results. One such result is the undisputed superiority over the traditional weight loss method (see inset). The latest Carboteq generation incorporates a specially designed line laser to further enhance positioniong accuracy. This ensures the Carboteq instrument is always placed exactly at the right spot to read the pre-engraved Carboteq value on the brake discs. The easy-to-read display and robust design of the housing make the instrument perfectly suitable for different...

SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY BUT SIMPLE MEASURING PROCESS Getting Started Functional Test TO MANY DIFFERENT USERS Owners of Racing and High Performance Cars Accurate tracking of the brake disc’s lifespan allows greater ease of mind to decide when to replace brake discs (safety) and to optimize usage of expensive brake discs (cost). Manufacturers of Carbon Ceramic Brake Discs Significant simplification of production processes resulting in enhanced manufacturing efficiencies and quality assurance levels. Full potential of the brake disc can now be exploited leading to higher demand for carbon...

“Having an electronic precision instrument for wear indication of carbon ceramic brake discs makes the measuring process much easier!” “Carboteq is a huge step forward, for safety reasons but also in terms of cost optimization.” Verband Schwei2er Porsche Clubs Proceq is official partner of Verband Schweizer Porsche Clubs, organizer of the Porsche Sports Cup Suisse race series.
