Overview

The control provides the following unbalance functions:

Function

Meaning

Further information

Calibrate unbalance

Specify the unbalance reference values

Only for the machine manufacturer

Measure unbalance

Detect the unbalance of current clamping for turning and calculate suggestions for balance weights

Notes

 
Warning
Caution: Danger to the operator and machine!
Very high physical forces are generated during turning, for example due to high rotational speeds and heavy or unbalanced workpieces. Incorrect machining parameters, neglected unbalances or improper fixtures lead to an increased risk of accidents during machining!
  1. Clamp the workpiece in the spindle center
  2. Clamp workpiece securely
  3. Program low spindle speeds (increase as required)
  4. Limit the spindle speed (increase as required)
  5. Eliminate unbalance (calibrate)

Refer to your machine manual.

Unbalance functions are not required and available on all machine tool types.

The unbalance functions described here are basic functions that are set up and adapted to the machine by the machine manufacturer. The scope and effect of the described functions may therefore vary from machine to machine. The machine manufacturer may also provide different unbalance functions.
