Grinding Wheel Balancing

In recent years we have seen an increase in the rotation speed of grinding machine spindles, along with the capacity of achieving superior levels of surface finish. With such levels of performance the vibrations caused by the imbalance of mechanical parts and the grinding wheel need to be constantly monitored.

DESCRIPTION

The balancer is a system that controls the intensity of the vibrations on the grinding wheel to automatically compensate for any imbalances and improve the quality of the parts produced, specifically the surface finish (roughness) and geometry (ovality and trilobate form). The aforementioned balancing systems are designed mainly for external, centerless, surface, flexible and special grinders.

BENEFITS

Is your machine unstable with a high level of vibrations?
The grinding wheel balancer improves the mechanical stability of every grinding machine.
Are you having product quality issues?
The grinding wheel balancer improves the surface quality of every product, avoiding risks of faceting, circularity errors and roughness defects.
Do you want to increase the cutting speed of the grinding wheel?
The balancer allows the peripheral speed of the grinding wheel, and the cutting speed, to be increased.
Does your grinding wheel not last long enough?
The balancer increase the number of products machined with the same grinding wheel.
Does your spindle require frequent maintenance and repairs?
The grinding wheel balancer reduces the load and stress on the spindle bearings.
Do you want to reduce maintenance costs?
The balancer stabilises the machine so that there are virtually no vibrations, which is the ideal condition to ensure production continuity and reduced costs.

VERSIONS

The Marposs/Dittel range of grinding wheel balancers provides the ideal solution for constant machine monitoring and to compensate any imbalance in real time during the cycle on any type of grinding machine. There are three types of balancing heads:

Flange (FT): installed on the grinding wheel, outside the spindle. They are usually used on simple and economical grinding machines.
Spindle (ST): built-in and they operate inside the spindle. They are usually used on top of the range grinding machines.
Hydraulic (HT): installed on the grinding wheel support flange. They are usually used on grinding machines with automatic grinding wheel change and spindles that do not allow standard balancing heads to be used.
