Loading options

• Manual

• Interlinking with lift swivel

transport

• Robot

■ Gantry loader.

• Unbalance correction radially on

the external disc diameter with

side-milling cutter.

Description

Soft-bearing vertical balancing

machine for measuring and

correcting unbalance of disc

shaped rotors.

• Measuring, machining and

auditing in 1, 2 or 3 stations

depending on cycle time

requirements.

• For measuring, the workpiece is

clamped using a high precision

holder.

For unbalance correction, the

workpiece is held by a swivelling

chuck.

• The resulting swarf is extracted

via an exhaust hood mounted on

the cutter head.

The measuring computer

performs the sequencing,

unbalance measurement and

compensation calculation.

Advantages

• Space saving and compact

modular design.

• Fully automatic balancing with

unbalance correction by milling.

• Measuring computer with touch

screen operation.

• Integration into production lines

possible.

• Handling system designed for

large tool range with reduced

change over time.
