Horizontal balancing machine ZB20/MS/AERO/S

electricfor aeronauticsautomatic

Overview CEMB's horizontal-axis balancer dedicated to helicopter drive shafts and similar aircraft rotors. Built to meet aviation SAE standards and intended for OEM production lines and MRO maintenance centers. High-speed electro-spindle drive and dedicated software support multi-plane and hyper-critical balancing required by aerospace components.

Key features

• Unbalance measurement system adapted to high-speed rotating shafts and flexible rotors.
• Horizontal configuration with a high-rigidity base and electro-spindle drive for precise rotation control.
• Balancing speed range from 1000 to 8000 rpm.
• Handles rotors for new production and remanufactured components in OEM and MRO environments.
• Dedicated software modules for multi-plane and hyper-critical balancing scenarios.
• Integrated protections and automatic safety systems for operator protection and machine reliability.
• Designed to comply with aviation and defense industry requirements.

Options

• Motorized support translation: Motorized displacement system for supports on the pallet to speed up fixture changes and ensure precise positioning.
• Optional software packages: Additional functions to display extended data beyond imbalance and phase, including:
  • Assisted balancing tools (milling, drilling, adding counterweights)
  • Analysis tools (FFT, 2F program for flexible rotors)
  • Statistics and reporting tools
  • Traceability and data logging
• Excess vibration monitoring: Triaxial vibration sensor that stops rotation and executes emergency braking when safety thresholds are exceeded.
• Rotor deflection detector: Instrument to measure rotor deflection at specified speeds and verify compliance with tolerance limits.
