  • Page 50 4.1 FOLDER LIST This creates a management folder used to sort balancing tests. A folder can be used to store, for example, tests on the same machine or all balancing done for a customer. Functions of the screen: Go to selected folder: see § 4.3. Create a new folder in the list.
  • Page 51 Use the tachometer accessories delivered in your balancing kit. For the setting of the tachometer input see § 2.3. A pulse is sent to FIXTURLASER SMC for each rotation of the machine. Note: It is recommended to have a pulse width at least larger than 2% of the rotation period.
  • Page 52 4.4 SETUP This screen includes 4 tabs. They are used to define the balancing and the type of measurement used to perform the balancing process. Values can be directly modified. If some modifications have been made, a confirmation message to save them or not is asked before going to another screen.
  • Page 53 Machine setup This tab gives access to following parameters: • Number of planes: 1 to 4 This refers to the number of planes on which balancing weights are to be installed. This number also determines the number of measurement points, as well as the number of runs required to perform the balancing: o Number of points = number of planes o Number of runs = 1 (Free run) + number of planes (Trial runs)
  • Page 54 Measurement setup This tab gives access to following parameters: • Number of channels: 1 or 2. This value is only accessible for a 2-plane balancing. If 1 is selected at each run, each point is measured one after the other one. In all other cases, the number of channels is equal to the number of planes.
  • Page 55 Sensor position setup This tab gives access to following parameters: • For each point: o Point identification: Up to 10 characters o Channel number: For information o Angular position of the sensor: Optional input for estimation of the position of the trial weight. The angle is that between the high position of the machine and the position of the sensor in the direction of rotor rotation •...
  • Page 56 4.5 RUN-OUT MEASUREMENT Note: This step is only accessible if the input type is “proximity probe”. Definition of the run-out The proximity sensors operating with eddy current probes are sensitive to irregularities of the surface pointed by the sensor (shape, cracks, carbon inclusions, magnetized areas, etc.). The signal provided by the Run-Out is at the rotation frequency of the machine and is thus merged with the unbalance phenomenon.
  • Page 57 If not there are certainly other actions to do on the machine before balance it. Quality of measurement: Gives access to the dispersion of vibration and rotation speed. FIXTURLASER SMC includes an automatic analysis of the measurement. If an abnormal event is detected the measurement screen display an alert pictogram ( ).
  • Page 58 4.7 TRIAL RUN Known unbalance is added on the rotor to compute the relation between measured vibration and rotor unbalance. The number of trial runs is equal to the number of balancing planes. Trial run definition You must indicate the value of the weight and its angular position in each of the balancing planes. Carefully observe the angle convention (direction of rotation = positive direction of angles).
  • Page 59 Note: • the origin of angular position on the rotor must be in front of the triggering position (the reflective adhesive tape for instance) • for a measurement with accelerometer or velocimeter, there is an additional error for low-speed machine (< 300 CPM) due to the phase shift between signal input and tachometer input. Equivalent weight: Tool to compute the weight equivalent to 3 weights W1, W2 and W3 positioned on the selected plane...
  • Page 60 4.8 BALANCING RESULT Result After the last trial run, the instrument displays computed balancing weights. It is possible to select: • The reference run: Indicate the run to which balancing weights are to be added. Generally, it is either the free run (run without any trial weight), or the last run (run with all trial weights) when it is difficult or impossible to remove trial weight.
  • Page 61 4.9 TRIM STEPS The trim steps are used to iterate up to 8 additional measurements used to improve the result of the balancing. Trim result This screen shows: • The balancing quality grade estimation. Notes: o To display the quality, it is necessary to have the rotor weight and radius not equal to 0. o The quality is computed only for 1 or 2 plane balancing.
