Hofmann Mess- und Auswuchttechnik GmbH & Co. KG – AB 9000 ring balancing system
■
Overview
AB 9000 ring balancing system
The AB 9000 ring balancing system is based on a brilliantly
simple concept. The vibrations generated on rotating systems
due to imbalance are actively and quickly eliminated as the
system rotates. Two balancing rotors are permanently mounted
on the tool spindle via thin ring bearings. A fast, intelligent
controller uses sensors to detect the imbalance in the spindle,
calculates and adjusts the position of the two balancing rotors
electromagnetically until they are ideally positioned to com-
pensate the imbalance.

Benefits
7
Automatic (active) balancing of all kinds of rotors
7
Balancing during operation without machine shutdown
7
Implementation of test imbalance for the purpose of system
identification
7
Generation of unbalance for acceptance tests
■
Function
•
Automatic (active) balancing of rotors (e.g. grinding wheels,
grinding spindles, turning chucks, fans) in one or two planes
with imbalance monitoring
•
Active balancing during operation without machine shutdown
•
Ring-shaped balancing unit for efficient, space-saving
integration into the rotor
•
Very fast balancing even at high rotational speeds by
electro-magnetic actuator and adaptive balancing process
•
Non-contact, wear-free transmission of actuator energy
between stator and balancing ring
•
Pre-balancing software for manual correction of basic
unbalance - AB 9000 then only balances the new operational
unbalances
•
Balancing unit can be neutralized, e.g. for pre-balancing.
•
Indication of remaining balancing capacity
•
PC operating software
■
Integration
The AB 9000 can be used for the following CNC:
