Description of function
In the Unbalance measurement: Speed limitation window, you define at which speed the control will measure the unbalance.
The control starts rotating the table at a low speed and gradually increases the speed up to the defined value.
After completion of the measurement, the control will display the calculated mass and the radial position of the compensation weight in the Result diagram window.
After clamping a balancing weight, the unbalance must be checked again in a measurement.
The Result diagram window
The Result diagram window contains the following areas:
Area | Meaning |
---|---|
Determined values |

Proposed unbalance | Properties and clamping of the ideal compensation weight:

Alternative settings |
If you wish to use a different radial position or mass for the balancing mass, you can overwrite one value and have the other value recalculated automatically. When you enter a value and press the RETURN key, the control will recalculate the value. |
The control shows a diagram with the possible mass and radial-position values of the compensation weight. The control marks the Proposed unbalance with a circle.
When you have the control recalculate the value, it marks the new value with a red circle.
Note
To compensate for an unbalance, several balancing weights at different positions may be required.
