With the introduction of the EURO 7 standard, braking systems in cars will have to undergo massive changes, as this is the first time that particulate emissions have been regulated and many current models do not meet these requirements with their brakes. What does this mean in concrete terms for automotive production, what role does the hard coating of brake discs play and why is EMAG’s new laser metal deposition technology the ideal solution? An interview with Dominic Grimminger, brake disc coating expert at EMAG.

The brake disc is one of the most important safety-relevant components in passenger and commercial vehicles. The production of brake discs is, therefore, a demanding field of application that requires the highest precision. At the same time, cost pressures are very high and changing production batches must pass through the production lines with high productivity and short set-up times. As a specialist in the machining of brake discs, EMAG has already implemented numerous customized turnkey solutions in close cooperation with customers operating worldwide. In the following interview with Dominic Grimminger, expert for brake disc production systems at EMAG, we learn more about the challenges and solutions in this field of application.
