Production balancing up to 100 kg

Universal Balancing's V100S vertical axis balancing machine with automatic mill correction is capable of handling any component weighing up to 100 kg that requires correction of unbalance by milling.

Self-contained, the V100S can be fully integrated into high speed automated production lines such hat part loading/unloading and manual correction is avoided. Machines can be added or removed from the line meet changing production volumes. The machine delivers an unbalance reduction ratio of 99.65% - probably the highest currently available on a vertical balancing machine. The V100S is being used within a broad range of industries to balance components such as brake drums and discs; impellers; differential parts - or others with or without their own journals that require correction by milling. The milling head, which gives 300 Nm cutting torque, is able to accommodate axial through to radial positions and cuts arc angles of up to 180° in the part on the rotary table. In addition, it can be adjusted to allow different cut angles for a range of components. The height and radii of the milling cut changes automatically for each part. High suction extraction vacuum removes virtually all metal chips produced by the cutting process. A 10 in precision air chuck offers 2.5 micron repeatability, and features interchangeable jaws clamping on the inside or outside diameters of parts – even those incorporating a shaft (ie pump impeller). The jaws can be changed in less than 2 minutes and milling cutter in less than 1 minute. The mill head position adjusts in a matter of seconds at the touch of a button. With a compact footprint of 2.2 by 2.4 by 1.3 m (including extractor), the V100S is capable of balancing in 1 or 2 planes. The touchscreen operated measuring system for the V100S features simple intuitive displays available in imperial, metric and multiple unit options (ie gmm, gcm, ozinch); automated machine procedures for tooling compensation and calibration; and advanced proving routines. Part/batch serial numbers can be recorded for quality and process control purposes. All information for individual jobs, including set-up, correction and calibration, is stored permanently, allowing fast retrieval. Results can be logged to a file, SQL database, printer, network or serial port in an easy to edit format, while advanced diagnostics allow fault analysis to be carried out both on site and remotely through the internet.
