ITW Balance Engineering
The Model EAB Engine Assembly Balancer
is a single-station machine designed to measure and correct harmonic engine unbalance.
Features:
* Electric motor drive of engine at low speed (300 to 1000 RPM) to obtain first harmonic unbalance measurements in 2 planes.
* Rapid unbalance determination allows dry engine (no oil) in some applications.
* Servo motor drive from either end of engine.
* A variety of unbalance correction systems available, including:
- Automatic drilling into pully, damper or flywheel
- Automatic welding of precut weights onto flexplate
- Automatic strip feed, cutoff and welding of variable length weights
- Installation of pins or driveweights into designated locations
- Air or hydraulic press for hole punch into flexplate
* CBI-2000 controlled servos and measurement/correction process.
The above model shows a short block (no cylinder heads) balancer with automatic correction systems at both ends of the engine, and a side load shuttle transfer system.
Including the model show, several configurations are available. Most are fully automatic load and unload.
