Separating production batches
Pallets and stack groups provide physical separation between visible preform families. Labels and written records should identify size, quantity and status.

Carbon Preform Batch Control and Staging
Large batches of preforms appear across the factory floor in different diameters and stack heights. This chapter explains how visible staging should connect with batch identity, quantities and downstream production routing.
Quantity and stage control
A batch count should distinguish components awaiting review, approved for the next operation or held for investigation. The batch status record remains the controlling document.
Size variation without vehicle assumptions
Different ring sizes are visible, but no specific vehicle should be assigned from diameter alone. Final application depends on the complete approved brake-system geometry.

Frequently asked questions
Which manufacturing parameters require controlled production records?+
Material grade, machine settings, tolerances and acceptance results require controlled production records and measured inspection results.
Do the visible preform sizes identify a specific vehicle?+
No. Vehicle application is approved only after VIN, axle, brake hardware and wheel-clearance review.
Are unpictured furnace or silicon-infiltration stages being claimed?+
Carbonisation and silicon infiltration require confirmed process records and are outside this stage.
