Custom balancing machine for rigid rotors

Standard balancing machines cover common rotor sizes and fixtures. A custom machine makes sense when:

• The size, shape or bearing seats of the rotor do not fit a standard machine.
• The machine must work inside the line and hand results to the PLC.
• Correction, marking or sorting must happen at the same station.

1. Load the rotor into the machine.
2. Run it up to balancing speed through the motor drive.
3. Read the vibration or force in each correction plane against a once-per-revolution trigger.
4. Compute the correction mass and angle in one or two planes, and check the result against ISO 21940-11.
5. Store the result with the serial number, and pass the correction to a correction unit where the machine has one.
