Sub-contract balancing service
1 min read
Schenck has re-introduced its contract balancing service by opening its first Schenck Balancing Centre in partnership with WS Engineering Ltd, Leek, Staffordshire.
The idea behind these new regional centres is to offer a wide range of contract services using a combination of state-of-the-art balancing and spin testing technology and specialist expertise and consultancy.
The first accredited Schenck Balancing Centre at WS Engineering is equipped with the latest Schenck horizontal and vertical balancing machines and advanced CAB computer control and measurement systems. The centre is able to test all types and sizes of rotor from 1 gram to 100 kgs.
"Every company has equipment and machines that need to be well balanced to improve performance, productivity, safety and reliability, but many do not have the technology or skills to carry out the work," says Roy Fulton, managing director at Schenck based in Warwick. "We believe that there is a great demand for contract balancing services across a wide range of engineering industries - whether it is for R&D, prototype design, serial production and quality control or service and maintenance."
WS Engineering Ltd has been providing engineering services for over 30 years and has worked closely with Schenck over the last 6 years, installing and re-locating precision balancing machines across a range of industrial sectors including automotive production, manufacturing, utilities and aerospace technology.
