[0002] Brake discs are crucial components in modern automotive braking systems, responsible for converting kinetic energy into heat energy, thereby achieving vehicle deceleration and stopping. During use, brake discs are subjected to varying degrees of friction, and thus the uniformity of their surface and internal thickness directly affects braking effectiveness, brake performance, and safety. Non-uniform thickness of brake discs can lead to unbalanced braking effects, affecting driving safety and potentially causing premature brake disc wear, thermal degradation, and brake judder.

In addition, ultrasonic detection technology can analyze the internal structure of the brake disc without contact by transmitting sound waves and analyzing the echo signals, further ensuring the uniformity of the brake disc thickness.

[0025] Better, in order to increase the stability, the brake disc transportation pipeline detection device includes the guide rail 100 provided on both sides of the pipeline.
