CHAPTER 4. BALANCING MODULE The Balancing module enables "in situ" balancing of a rotating machine. This means that it is possible to balance the machine's rotor within its own bearings, without having to dismantle it completely and without resorting to a balancing rig.
4.1 BALANCING MODULE ORGANISATION Folder list: see § 4.2 Balancing list: see § 4.3 Report: see § 4.13 Setup: see § 4.5 Free Run: see § 4.7 Steps browser: see § 4.11 Trial Run (X Plane number): see § 4.8 Definition Measurement Balancing result: see § 4.9 Result Definition Measurement Definition Measurement Trim steps (up to 8): see § 4.
4.2 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. Change the name of selected folder. Delete selected folder. Return to Home screen. 4.3 BALANCING LIST This screen displays the list of balancing tests of a folder.
4.4 INSTALLING 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. This module does not take in account the setting: Accelerometer link: Wire or Wireless (see § 2.2).
4.4.2 Tachometer / Triggering device In order to measure the phase, an instrument must be installed, that generates an electric pulse at each rotation. Use following accessories: ACC1072000 OPT-TRG-LAS 5V PWS: optical triggering device with laser sighting CPC1228000 CABLE ECTC-M12-STR-001.5: 1.5 meter to connect it on FALCON CPC1226000 CÂBLE RALLONGE M12 5M: 5 meter cable extension 850910 OPTAPE: adhesive reflective tape.
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.
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. Number of average: 1 to 256. Advised value: 8. Measurements are obtained by averaging several successive acquisitions.
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. Machine group (ISO 10816-3): select the machine type in the list. On each measurement screen you can compare the vibration level generated by the unbalance (vibration at rotational speed) with the selected group limit.
4.7 FREE RUN After installing the vibration sensor and the tachometer, run the machine at its usual speed. This run measures the vibration at the rotation speed. Functions of the screen: Tachometer setup. Note: the free run is usually the first measurement, use this function to set tacho parameters (see § 2.4). Acquisition: wait for the machine to reach its steady state before starting the acquisition. During the acquisition, a dot is displayed for each average.
4.8 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. 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). The angle unit defined in the setup is recalled on the left hand side of the input field.
Symbols used on definition screen: 1 2 Trial runs: , ,… B Balancing run: Note: Trim runs: T1 , T2 ,… 2 Negative weight is symbolized by a white square. Example: Weights of other runs are symbolized with fine borders and parentheses: 3 and 4-plane balancing is displayed in tabular mode only (2) 4.8.2 Trial run measurement Once the trial weights are installed, restart the machine. The operating mode is the same as for free run: see § 4.7.
4.9 BALANCING 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. Run-out: Yes or No. For measurement done with proximity probe only: see § 4.6.
4.10 TRIM 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: 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. The weights to add on the rotor to try improve the balancing quality. 4.10.
4.13 REPORT 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… (see §1.14.1) Add a comment. This comment appears in the balancing report (see § 1.14.2) 4.13.
