Description:
Brake disk faces must be parallel to each other and the wheel face mount. A constant thickness is required and the brake surfaces must be flat. Talyrond roundness measuring systems track both the flatness, parallelism and thickness deviation using circumferential polar traces. Powerful Disk Thickness Variation software automatically identifies unwanted defects on brake disks and other components. The images show the measurement points and roundness deviation plots highlighting flatness and thickness variations (copyright Taylor Hobson).
