Leaders in balancing technology
Universal Balancing offers a standard range of dynamic horizontal balancing machines that cater for rotors from a few grams to a maximum weight of 20,000kg and 2450mm diameter. As a specialist manufacturer, they also manufacture custom and special dynamic horizontal balancing machines to suit virtually any type of rotor.
Universal Balancing machines are designed, manufactured and tested in the UK to ISO standards and customer specific standards. They incorporate the latest proven technology and deliver unrivalled accuracy and repeatability, and achieve up to 30% faster results than comparable machines on the market.
The dynamic horizontal balancing machines are of robust design and are operated by Universal Balancing’s industry leading measuring systems. Features such as job store and visual setup functionality within the measuring systems combined with physical features such as linear rails enable job changeover to be achieved in a matter of minutes. Through use of advanced sine wave technology, accurate balancing results are achievable in a matter of seconds, and with a comprehensive yet simple unbalance display, correction is carried our faster and easier than ever before. (For information on operating balancing machines see the Measuring Systems section).
To further increases productivity and quality, dynamic horizontal balancing machines can be fitted with integrated correction systems such as drilling, milling or welding units for manual or automated on-station correction. The horizontal balancing machine range can control pre or post manufacturing operations to fully integrate within automated production hi-speed production lines.
The main advantages of horizontal balancing machines in comparison to other types of balancers are:
