Why is it so important to measure the balancing speed of the workpiece in the balancing machine?

Accurately measuring the rotational speed of a workpiece in a balancing machine is a critical factor in ensuring the reliability of the results. Unbalance measurement relies on the relationship between the centrifugal force created by the mass distribution of the part and the angular position (phase angle) of this force. To perform this measurement accurately, the system must know the exact speed at which the part is rotating and generate a reference signal based on this speed. If the speed measurement is inaccurate, the location and magnitude of the unbalance will also be miscalculated, which can render the correction ineffective or even worsen the situation.

Especially in environments with abundant interference signals, such as factories, the inherent rotational motion of drive elements such as motors and belts increases the need for an accurate speed reference. Modern balancing machines operate by isolating these external factors and using sensitive sensors to accurately determine the instantaneous speed and phase angle of the part. This minimizes phase shifts and inaccurate measurements experienced in older systems. Ultimately, accurate speed measurement isn't just a technical detail; it's a fundamental requirement for ensuring the balancing process is completed accurately, quickly, and reliably. At MBS Balans Sanayi, we utilize advanced sensors and software in our machines to ensure this critical measurement is always performed with the highest accuracy.
