Automatic diagnosis: the generation of measurement is fully automatic and an automatic diagnosis is performed after measurement in HAWK Supervisor. Machine type: select if machine is at fixed rotation speed (speed not measured and not modifiable) or if machine is at variable speed (speed is measured). In this 2 case, select also how the rotation speed is measured.
Page 31
For Automatic diagnosis mode and fixed speed machine, the value must be as close as possible from the effective rotation speed (+/- 20 CPM). HAWK gives the possibility to adjust the rotation speed with its stroboscope. In this case, when downloading the route, the new rotation speed is used to update NEST initial setting.

4.2 F OLDER 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.
4.4 I NSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT To perform the balancing measurements, you should have a triggering device and at least one vibration sensor available. Take care to not change the position of the sensors during the entire balancing process. 4.4.1 Vibration sensor Note: as phase measurement is required, Balancing module cannot be used with the WLS Sensor.
ACC1056000 Three-finger clamp For the setting of the tachometer input see § 2.4. A pulse is sent to HAWK for each rotation of the machine. 4.5 S ETUP This screen includes 4 tabs. They are used to define the balancing and the type of measurement used to perform the balancing process.
Page 55
4.5.1 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: Number of points = number of planes Number of runs = 1 (Free run) + number of planes (Trial runs)
Page 56
4.5.2 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.
4.5.4 Units and control setup This tab gives access to following parameters: Trial weight unit: g, kg, lb, oz Radius unit: mm, cm, m, in Machine class (ISO 1940): select the machine type in the list (G0.4 to G4000). The balancing result is compared with the selected class.
Quality of measurement: gives access to the dispersion of vibration and rotation speed. HAWK includes an automatic analysis of the measurement. If an abnormal event is detected the measurement screen display an alert pictogram ( ).
4.8 T RIAL 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. 4.8.1 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 60
Symbols used on definition screen: , … Trial runs: Balancing run: , … Trim runs: Note: Negative weight is symbolized by a white square. Example: Weights of other runs are symbolized with fine borders and parentheses: ...
4.9 B ALANCING RESULT 4.9.1 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.
4.10 T RIM STEPS The trim steps are used to iterate up to 8 additional measurements used to improve the result of the balancing. 4.10.1 Trim result This screen shows: The balancing quality grade estimation. Notes: To display the quality, it is necessary to have the rotor weight and radius not equal to 0. The quality is computed only for 1 or 2 plane balancing.
4.13 R EPORT 4.13.1 Picture and comment Before generating the report, you can document the balancing with pictures and a comment. From any step of the balancing, from the shortcut panel , you can use following functions: Add a picture. You can take up to 6 pictures to document the report: global picture of the machine, sensor installation, weight installation…...
