Sturm Gruppe has officially launched its latest innovation in industrial coating systems—the ADCS-LC, a high-performance brake disc coating machine that is redefining industry standards for speed, efficiency, and reliability. Backed by years of engineering expertise, the ADCS-LC has already made its mark in the market, outperforming across all key performance metrics.
Performance Highlights Set New Industry Benchmarks
The ADCS-LC is engineered to dramatically cut idle time during production, clocking in at under six seconds of non-productive time per fully coated brake disc. This leap in efficiency translates into major operational savings, with companies projected to save approximately €350,000 annually.
Powered by dual 22-kilowatt lasers—expandable up to 30 kW each—the system achieves a rapid cycle time of just 40 seconds per disc. The result is high-throughput, high-precision coating that meets the demands of today’s fast-paced manufacturing environments.
Compact, Transportable Design Enhances Usability
Beyond performance, the ADCS-LC boasts a compact footprint of 8.3 x 3.5 x 3.5 meters, allowing it to be shipped to customer locations fully assembled. This eliminates the need for on-site disassembly or complex setup, streamlining the installation process and reducing downtime.
The system is also equipped with Sturm Gruppe’s proprietary ADCS-DI integrated tool, which enables precise measurement of coating thickness, ensuring consistent quality control throughout the production line.
Driving Efficiency and Profitability
The economic advantages of the ADCS-LC extend beyond speed. With drastically reduced idle time, businesses benefit from lower energy consumption, reduced maintenance costs, and increased overall productivity. These factors contribute to a more sustainable and profitable production model, making the ADCS-LC a strategic investment for manufacturers aiming to optimize their operations.
An End-to-End Manufacturing Ecosystem
The launch of the ADCS-LC complements Sturm Gruppe’s broader portfolio of manufacturing technologies. The company offers a full suite of solutions tailored to brake disc production, including non-contact disc inspection systems, innovative wear marking tools, and long-lasting anti-corrosion coating technologies.
By offering integrated solutions across the production cycle, Sturm Gruppe empowers manufacturers to meet diverse operational requirements with consistency, accuracy, and innovation.
Shaping the Future of Coating Technology
With the introduction of the ADCS-LC, Sturm Gruppe is reinforcing its leadership in industrial manufacturing solutions. The company’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in coating technology, setting a new standard for the industry at large.
As manufacturing demands evolve, Sturm Gruppe remains at the forefront, delivering scalable, future-ready solutions for modern production challenges.
