planes
Latest addition to an easy-to-use measuring system, which can not only detect imbalances in machinery but also eliminate them, can balance any rotors or shafts in one or two planes.
A high percentage of machine failures and problems can often be attributed to imbalances or faulty alignment These conditions can in turn lead to increased wear of machine components during operation, which in turn can lead to unplanned machine and plant stoppages over time if they are not detected in good time
