The cap circumference marking on brake discs is central to quality assurance, compliance with standards, and logistics. It enables each disc to be uniquely identified, from the casting batch to assembly.
Trotec uses fibre lasers with variable pulse duration to permanently apply serial numbers, minimum thicknesses and standard references. The marking depth is typically 0.1–0.3 mm, and the marking remains legible even after thermal stress. Integration into automated lines takes place via Profinet/OPC-UA interfaces.
In accordance with ECE R90, brake discs must be permanently marked. As requirements for traceability and automated quality assurance increase, cap circumference marking is becoming a data source for MES and ERP systems. Unique identification is particularly crucial in the aftermarket for warranty processing and product liability.
A Tier 1 supplier in Eastern Europe uses Trotec systems to mark over 2 million brake discs annually. The data is transferred directly into the SAP system, enabling seamless traceability.
