Page 234: Balancing Measurement
The purpose of balancing is to compensate for imbalances in rotating parts through the precision attachment of balance weights in order to extend their service life. You can use the Detector III to quickly and reliably determine the best location of up to two counterweights.
Page 235 Detector III 3. Trial run : plane 1 (additional test measurement at plane 2 where two-plane balancing is carried out): During the test measurement the response of the rotor to defined weights is analyzed. The imbalance in the machine is altered by attaching the test weights.
Page 236 Balancing settings . In addition to the geometrical values, the Detector uses the imbalance measured in the previous run in order to calculate the suggested value. This is a reference or trim run for Plane 1 and for Plane 2 if the test weight has been removed.
Page 237 Detector III The Balancing menu is shown. Depending on the status of the balancing process, you can only select certain menu items. The Detector therefore guides you through the entire balancing process. You can only select lines preceded by a symbol in this menu.
Page 238 Split position Divides the vector of a weight between two positions. In relation to a full circle, enter the number of possible positions (at least 4), the angle of the first position and the weight to split. The Detector shows where the two resulting weights must be attached.
Page 239: Measuring Rotational Speed
Detector III You can use this function to determine the sum of up to three weights. Example: You are balancing a shaft that allows you to screw on balance weights at 36 positions. You have already attached several weights during the balancing process. The Detector suggests that an additional balance weight should be attached at a position that is already occupied.
Page 240: Reference Run
Press the Enter button to apply the rotational speed displayed. If you repeat b alancing using a b alancing configuration and the rotational speed is outside of the selected range, the calculated coefficients are no longer meaningful. In this case, the Detector will display a warning and you can use the differing speed or ab ort the measurement.
Page 241: Trial Run
Detector III Press the Enter button once amplitude and phase have stabilized after a time. Once you have measured all sensor positions, the results are displayed in a table. If the measured values are OK, select the Values are OK menu item and press the Enter button to save the measured values.
Page 242 Detector will return an error message. You can then decide whether to repeat the trial run with larger weights or accept these without making any changes. Attach the sensors to the component and connect these to the BNC connectors of the Detector as specified in the balancing configuration Based on the geometrical values specified in the balancing configuration as well as the imbalance measured in the reference run, the Detector calculates a suggested value for the test weight.
Page 243 Detector III For two-plane balancing, the Detector also checks whether the test weights are possible too small. In doing so, the change in vibration in Plane 2 is calculated with respect to the reference run if you have removed the test weight for Plane 1.
Page 244: Display Coefficients And Apply Balance Weights
The measured values ob tained during the trial run as well as the attached test weight are only saved once you have provided the Values are OK confirmation with the Enter button . Once this confirmation has b een given this step of the b alancing measurement can b e read out in Trendline.
Page 245: Trim Run
Detector III You can now restrict the calculated suggested weight to the particular safety limit. The following input of the weights actually applied remains unaffected by this. Now the weights have to be attached. If you attach weights different from the suggested values (e.g.
Page 246 rotational speed. Next, it displays the resulting measurements. Here you can enter a comment, either accept these measurements or discard them and repeat the measurement. For balancing you will usually need more than one run. If the result is not sufficient after the trim run, the Detector returns to the Balancing menu.
Page 247: Run Up/Coast Down (Determining The Resonance Range)
Detector III 6.9 Run up/coast down (Determining the resonance range) Background Balancing a machine with the aid of the Detector must not be performed in the resonance range as the vibration amplitude increases severely and the phase changes considerably when the machine is operated at or near resonant frequencies.
Page 248 Select the measuring point with the RFID Reader or manually (see "Selection of measuring point "). The Run up/coast down menu is shown. Press Start measurement. Perform the run up/coast down test on the machine. a) If you pre-set the rotational speed range, the Detector automatically measures in the defined rotational speed range.
Page 249: Amplitude/Phase Measurement
Detector III 6.10 Amplitude/phase measurement Background Experienced users can use the amplitude/phase measurement to determine changes in the stiffness of a component that are caused by structural breakage in the material, for example. To do this, you first use the Detector to perform vibration measurements at different points along the component.
Page 250 You can accept the suggested name or enter a different name. Pitch: The pitch at the reference point is needed to display the position of the measuring point in the amplitude/phase graph. If at least two measuring points are already available, the Detector automatically suggests a value composed of the pitch of the last measuring point and the pitch between the two last measuring points.

Page 280: Principles Of Non-Contact Temperature Measurement
11.3 Principles of non-contact temperature measurement (Dr.-Ing Gruner, Raytek) Introduction This manual was written for people who are unfamiliar with noncontact infrared temperature measurement. A conscious attempt has been made to present the subject matter as briefly and simply as possible. Readers who wish to gain more in-depth knowledge can follow the suggestions for further reading in the bibliography.
Page 281 Appendix There is no risk of contamination and no mechanical effect on the surface of the object; thus wear-free. Lacquered surfaces, for example, are not scratched and soft surfaces can also be measured. Having enumerated the advantages, there remains the question of what to keep in mind when using an IR thermometer: The target must be optically (infrared-optically) visible to the IR thermometer.
Page 282 Target Every form of matter with a temperature (T) above absolute zero emits infrared radiation according to its temperature. This is called characteristic radiation. The cause of this is the internal mechanical movement of molecules. The intensity of this movement depends on the temperature of the object. Since the molecule movement represents charge displacement, electromagnetic radiation (photon particles) is emitted.
Page 283 Appendix each curve) increases to the power of 4 of the temperature. These relationships were recognized by Stefan and Boltzmann in 1879 and illustrate that an unambiguous temperature can be measured from the radiation signal. /1/, /3/, /4/ and /5/. Fig.
Page 284 where emissivity is also dependent on temperature and wavelength are called non-gray bodies. Furthermore, the sum of emission is composed of absorption (A), reflection (R) and transmission (T) and is equal to one. (See Equation 1 and Fig. 4). A + R + T = 1 Fig.
Page 285: Handling The Pyrometer
Appendix compensate for this by offering variable options for setting the emissivity factor. (See also Fig. 5). Fig. 5 Specific radiation at various emississivity 11.3.1 Handling the pyrometer Distance to spot size ratio Distance to spot ratio (or field of view) refers to the diameter of the spot that the probe is sensing at a given distance.
Page 286 Fig. 6 Spot size Fig. 7 Size of the measuring object Emissivity All objects emit invisible infrared energy. The amount of energy emitted is proportional to the object's temperature and its ability to emit IR energy. This ability, called emissivity, is base upon the material that the object is made of and its surface finish.
