Product catalog summary
Applications
  • Balancing of disc-shaped rotors without their own shaft journal.
  • Suitable for small series production in the automotive and supplier industries, including components like flywheels, clutches, turbine wheels, and gearbox parts.
  • Customized unbalance correction through axial or radial drilling, welding of strips, or pressing of weights or rivets.
  • Loading options include manual, automated with gantry loader, automated with robot, and lift swivel transport.
Advantages
  • No test runs required due to permanent calibration.
  • Universal application with easy operation.
  • Displays unbalance or correction after the first measuring run.
  • Features a very rigid design and high service reliability.
  • Wear-free measuring system with a three-phase drive and frequency inverter.
  • Adjustable acceleration ramp and variable control cabinet position.
  • Modular design prepared for future mounting of correction units.
  • Special correction units available upon request.
Description
  • Vertical hard-bearing balancing machine for measuring and correcting unbalance in one or two planes with manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic operation.
  • Workpiece clamping and centering using a holder with zero-backlash.
  • Direct unbalance correction possible on the machine, including manual vertical drilling with a floating drill unit.
Options
  • Mandrel and pneumatic unclamping mechanism for power-operated chuck systems.
  • Vertical/horizontal drilling unit and other correction units available on request.
  • Swarf exhaust unit and automated loading options.
  • Marker system, test rotor with calibration weight, and correction angle indexing aid PosiQuick©.
  • Automatic indexing, statistics software, interfacing with master computer, report printer, and label printer.
