As good as new in 10 minutes
MAD’s brake disc aligners are designed with maximum precision, efficiency, and ease of use in mind. Our reliable systems allow machining of brake discs of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles directly on the vehicle.
Our brake disc turning machines consist of a drive unit that rotates the brake disc and a disc lathe that is mounted directly to the brake caliper mounting points. This method guarantees optimal machining results and absolute parallelism with the brake pads.

Universally applicable
Using smart adapters, our brake disc aligners can be used on more than 99% of all passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
UMA (Universal Mounting Adapter)
The UMA forms the basis for the universal applicability of our brake disc aligners. Thanks to the adjustable and rotatable brackets, the adapter can be quickly and easily adjusted to the brake caliper mounting points of virtually any passenger car or van equipped with standard brake calipers.
When should you machine brake discs?
Run-Out
Run-out is slingering van de remschijf. Dit kan ontstaan door tolerantie tussen remschijf en naaf of vervorming van de remschijf. De slingering van de schijf is voelbaar in het stuurwiel. De remschijf en -blokken liggen niet parallel!
DTV (Disc Thickness Variation)
Disc Thickness Variaton (DTV) is het verschil in dikte van de schijf op verschillende meetpunten in het radiale vlak. DTV is duidelijk voelbaar in het rempedaal.
Ruwe oppervlakken
Ruwe oppervlakken worden veroorzaakt door het hoog of laag frequent trillen van de remklauw. Dit komt door verschil in oppervlaktestructuur tussen remschijf en blokken. De oppervlakteruwheid is niet meer conform de specificaties van de fabrikant.
Roest
Roestvorming en corrosie is de meest herkenbare vorm van remschijfslijtage en komt voor na periodes van stilstand of blootstelling aan regen. Dit veroorzaakt een schurend geluid en een onregelmatige remwerking.
Guaranteed vibration-free braking comfort
The brake disc is machined directly on the mounted wheel hub, ensuring that the disc lathe is aligned with the brake disc. This prevents measurement errors caused by play, misalignment, or tolerances in the bearing and hub system.
The Benefits of machining brake discs
- Ensures vibration-free braking comfort
- A durable solution that extends the service life of expensive components
- Sell the workshop’s expertise and labor hours
- Perfect alignment between the disc and the brake pads thanks to mounting at the caliper mounting points
- Universally applicable to more than 99% of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
Machining directly on vehicle
The drive unit is easily adjustable for working heights between 45 and 125 cm. This makes it possible to machine brake discs both on a lift and using a jack (close to the ground). The brake disc is machined directly on the mounted wheel hub, ensuring that the disc lathe is aligned with the brake disc. This presents measurement errors caused by play, misalignment, or tolerances in the bearing and hub system.
New Brake Pads + Machined Brake Discs
When brake pads need to be replaced, they often need to be bed-in before they function optimally. By machining the brake disc at the same time, the new brake pads immediately make contact across the entire surface. This ensures maximum braking performance right away.
