Product catalog summary
Applications
  • Designed for balancing car and truck differential housings in high-volume production, particularly for automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
  • Unbalance correction is achieved through drilling or milling on the flange and/or cage for two-plane compensation.
  • Available configurations include a single machine with manual loading or a combination with a correction station and automatic loading.
  • Loading options include manual, automated with a gantry loader, or automated with a robot.
Advantages
  • Utilizes the same reference dates as in the vehicle for consistency.
  • Fully automatic processing with high flexibility due to simple repositioning of rollers.
  • Easy operation, universal application, high precision, and permanent calibration.
General Description
  • The machine is a horizontal hard-bearing balancing machine for measuring and correcting unbalance in one or two planes.
  • Workpieces are supported on horizontally arranged rollers for maximum flexibility and precision.
  • Features a measuring system with an overslung or tangential belt drive, depending on the design.
  • Includes an additional correction unit for unbalance correction and optional swarf removal by a suction unit and workpiece-specific exhaust hood.
Balancing Machine for Differential Housings (DHK11-F)
  • Components include a measuring station, clamping station, milling unit, swarf extractor, and hydraulics.
  • Options available: loading gantry, loading robot, 2-axis milling unit for 2-plane correction, marker unit, and interface with host computer.
Technical Data
  • Rotor specifications: Maximum weight of 15 kg, total length of 230 mm, and outer diameter on flange of 145 mm.
  • Machine dimensions vary by model, with balancing speed approximately 600 rpm and measuring accuracy less than 30 gmm.
  • Cycle time varies from 30 to 180 seconds depending on the model and audit percentage.
  • Models include DHK11-FM2, DHK11-FL2, and DHK11-FL4, with different station counts and dimensions.
Scope of Supply
  • Includes a horizontal measuring station with belt drive, milling unit, clamping and indexing station, swarf extraction unit, measuring unit with keyboard and monitor, machine control, safety enclosure (class B as per ISO 7475), and hydraulic unit.
