unbalance with the correction weight attached.
Figure 5 - 18.
The Correction Run Screen (Polar Version) Displaying Residual Unbalance.
On the polar version of the correction run display, a green arrow indicates how the
correction weight affected the heavy spot’s location. Ideally, at the end of the balancing
job, you wish the rotor’s heavy spot to be as close as possible to the shaft centerline.
• Verify whether the amount of residual unbalance is within specifications for the
machine.
If the amount of residual imbalance is within specifications, you can end the balance job,
if not, you should proceed with a trim run.
To end the balance job:
• From the Correction Run screen, after you have Stopped data collection, press the
shift (zero / up arrow) Save function button. The Balance – Save Setup screen
displays. Refer to Chapter 4, The Analyzer Module’s section on How to Save,
View, and Delete Analyzer Measurement Results for details on how to save
balancing jobs.
To proceed with a trim run(s) (also called check run(s)):
• From the Correction Run screen, after you have Stopped data collection, press the
Start function button (or an Enter / Fire button) to proceed to the second
correction weight screen (CW 2).
• Repeat the correction weight / run procedures as described above.
