Measuring and monitoring of vibrations, in-situ balancing Integrated Balancing System AB 9100 Advantages Integrated solution, no exterernal systems required Permanent vibration monitoring Link to machine control Balancing at very high speeds Windows software for setup and operation Field balancing software supports many unbalance correction methods Application Manual correction of operational unbalance Online monitoring of unbalance induced vibrations Typical applications Balancing of grinding wheels and grinding spindles inside the machine tool Compensation of toolholder unbalance with HSC spindles Compensation of non-symetric parts with lathes Balancing and monitoring of large fans Balancing and monitoring of rotors with test stands Description In-situ balancing of grinding wheels, machine tool spindles or fans normally is performed using portable Hofmann field balancing instrumentation. Therefore first the vibration and speed sensors have to be attached to the balancing object. Then they will be hooked up to the balancing instrument. Prior to balancing one should check whether unbalance really is the source of vibrations. If yes, a calibration is being performed until the instrument presents to unbalance to be corrected. After completion of balancing the measuring equipment will be dismounted again. In case a balancing system AB 9100 is being used, that effort reduces to just the unbalance correction. Because that system will be integrated into the machine. It continuously monitors the vibrations. And it indicates to the machine control an event as soon as the vibration exceeds a preset limit. A necessary unbalance correction may then be done very quickly, because the calibration is available already since the commissioning of the system. As a result the unbalance correction is now directly shown. A PC software is being used to setup and operate the AB 9100 and to guide the operator through the balancing process. It may be installed on an external PC or laptop. It also may be installed on the PC of a machine's PLC.
