rotor (weight and dimension).
It must, however, be guaranteed that the attachment radius and
attachment angle can be precisely matched.
Machine Calibration
With this calibration, the specific parameters of the measuring
device are determined.
The installation of the machine, the components of the measuring
device, such as the encoders and springs, and the test rotor used
all effect the values measured.
When should a new basic calibration be carried out?
At fixed intervals.
After inconsistencies during unbalance correction (sus-
pected poor reduction).
When there are large deviations (greater than 5%).
After repairs, replacement of parts of the measuring system
(encoders, springs etc.) or a new installation of the ma-
chine.
When the machine is inspected before leaving the factory,
a basic calibration takes place.
After the final machine installation and before the regular
balancing operation, the basic calibration is checked by
service personnel and, if necessary, repeated.
Through a basic calibration by the path-measuring procedure,
existing rotor-type-dependent calibrations may be changed and
must be checked.
When repeating a basic calibration, the same rotor should be
used again that was used for the first calibration.
Rotor-type-dependent calibration
With rotor-type-dependent calibration, the specific influences of
the rotor on the measuring device, such as mass and compensat-
ing radius, are determined.
When the machine is inspected at the factory, a calibration
with a test rotor takes place.
