About the FBD-Series Brake Disk Profile Gauge

The Laser disc brakes profilometer FBD Profile gauge is designed for disc brakes profile measuring. The main functions of the FBD Profile gauge are:

  • Obtaining the information on the profile parameters of the working disc brakes surface;
  • Full profile scanning and analyze of the disc brakes acting face;
  • Visualization of the combined graphical images of actual and new disc brakes profiles on the display of system unit;

Safety precautions and measurement conditions

  • Prior to mounting the profilometer onto the wheel, areas of contact of the side supports with the wheel surface should be thoroughly cleaned from dirt.
  • When mounting the module on the wheel, do not allow heavy shocks of its support against the wheel.
  • The output windows of the profilometer and profilometer supports must be carefully inspected and cleaned
  • Do not use laser module in locations close to powerful light sources.

 

Electromagnetic compatibility

The profilometer have been developed for use in industry and meet the requirements
of the following standards:

  • EN 55022:2006 Information Technology Equipment. Radio disturbance characteristics. Limits and methods of measurement.
  • EN 61000-6-2:2005 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Generic standards. Immunity for industrial environments.
  • EN 61326-1:2006 Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use. EMC Requirements. General requirements.

 

Laser safety

The profilometer make use of an c.w. 660 nm wavelength semiconductor laser. Maximum output power is 1 mW. The device belongs to the 2 laser safety class.

The following safety measures should be taken while operating the profilometer:

  • Do not target laser beam to humans;
  • Do not disassemble the sensor;
  • Avoid staring into the laser beam.
