Field Balancing:
Dynamic in-place balancing reduces down time, saves labor, and shipping costs. This
type of balancing avoids any errors that can occur when rotating components are
not balanced in place, within their own bearings and operating environment
Vibration analysis is performed in conjunction with each balance job, first to confirm
that the machine does indeed need a balance job, and second to insure it does not
need any other maintenance work performed first. Performing full vibration spectral
analysis actually reduces the time spent balancing your equipment because other
problems if present are identified and dealt with before the balance process is
started.
Maintenance Tip: Make sure rotors are clean before balancing for best results.
Dual Laser Alignment:
Aligning the shaft centerlines on two or more machines will insure less energy consumption
and longer equipment life through increased bearing and seal life.
Using a dual laser system in live mode can help you determine if you have a soft
foot condition present, soft foot must be addressed before a successful alignment
can be performed. Thermal growth can be factored in during a cold alignment to account
for normal machine expansion when at operating temperatures.
Roll profiling and surface flatness can also be performed.
