High precision systems balance parts up
to 1500kg
Non-rotating vertical axis balancers provide single plane balancing in seconds and offer extreme accuracy - at around 60% of an equivalent rotating machines' cost.
Unibal NR (Non-Rotating) vertical axis balancers utilise proven LVDT sensor technology and the companys leading-edge, touch screen control and measurement software to provide single plane balancing in seconds. The cost-effective new units also combine simple, robust construction with extreme accuracy - at around 60% of the cost of equivalent rotating machines Further advantages of Unibals NR systems are the requirement for only minimal guarding and clamp-free, self-centring tooling. Furthermore, as components do not need to be accelerated and decelerated during readings, operating costs are minimised and cycle times are slashed to little more than that required for loading and unloading. The equipments lack of moving parts also ensures minimal maintenance downtime, as well as reliable performance over an extended service life
