The double disk grinding machines in the Planet BD and Planet V series set standards in modern manufacturing. With maximum precision and impressive flexibility, they offer solutions for a wide range of applications. Thanks to innovative technology and robust design, these systems guarantee the best grinding results while keeping unit costs low.

Double-disk grinding machine of the proven Planet series for grinding coated brake discs.

• Double side grinding (simultaneous machining of both friction ring surfaces) for high throughput / short cycle times
• Coating and grinding as a complete solution
• Maximum quality through innovative process control, optionally with in-process gaging
• Optional automation of loading and unloading for various feeding and discharging systems
• Significant cost reduction by optimizing the process chain coating – double surface grinding

Due to their extreme hardness, carbon-ceramic brake discs are among the most demanding components. With the Planet BD, they can be machined precisely, efficiently and reliably.

The vertical spindle arrangement offers the user the highest resulting workpiece qualities while reducing piece costs.

Unique features include the Smart Dressing Cycle, the patented grinding gap visualization and the integrated tool change aid. This reduces downtime as tool changes and retooling operations are kept to a minimum.

Due to its space-saving design, Planet V machines can be easily integrated into new or existing production lines.

• Smart Dressing Cycle SDC
• Grinding Gap Visualization System
• Patented Tilt Navigation TNS
• In-Process Measurement
• Smaller Footprint
• Extremely Rigid Machine Base

Up to

40% savings

The new SDC (Smart Dressing Cycle) system developed by Supfina allows up to 40% cost savings in Double Disk grinding compared to conventional systems.

Did you know? The SDC can also be retrofitted to existing Planet V series machines. The cost of the retrofit pales in comparison to the savings that will be achieved.

With a new generation of Planet V, precision, productivity, and ease of use in Double Disk Grinding have increased once again, with a smaller footprint and reduced costs.

Supfina offers the Planet V7 for larger requirements in Double Disk Grinding.

It includes all the advantages of the Planet V series. Two 64 kW powerful motors allow stock removal of 3mm and up with cycle times of ~37 seconds.

The Planet V machine series has innovative features such as the patented Tilt Navigation for operator-guided adjustment of the grinding gap, the integrated tool change aid and a modular dressing system for grinding wheels.
