Balancing: Operation

Operation

If you are not yet familiar with operation in balancing mode, please
note the following instructions:

Settings

All settings necessary for the measurement and evaluation of a
balancing run are made in setup menus:

- Measurement setup: measurement settings (see p. 2-29)
- Transducer setup: parameters of the transducer in use
- Machine setup: data on rotor and balancing-related settings (see p.

2-26ff.)

These three setup menus are contained in the measurement task
manager. The settings can only be changed before a balancing run is
begun. The settings in the following two setup menus can also be
changed during a balancing run:

- Display setup: display settings (see p. 2-24).
- Tools: balancing-related settings and parameters that can be

changed during a balancing run (see p. 2-19ff.).

Display

In each balancing run, two main screens appear:

The 

data screen 

shows the balancing weights and their positions on

the rotor in the upper half of the screen. The lower half contains the
measurement data and balancing weights of all completed runs. If a
machine setup is used, it shows the balancing quality attained and
the resulting centrifugal force on the rotor.

In the 

measurement screen,

 the measurement values (amplitude and

phase angle) are displayed and the imbalance pointer is shown in a
polar diagram.
