Overview
The B1 R is a rotor balancing machine dedicated to turbocharger rotating parts, designed to ensure precision and efficiency in the initial stage of reconditioning. It uses a drive system to rotate the component for unbalance analysis and includes an automatic self-calibration that removes manual input of component parameters.

Processable components

• Single turbine shaft
• Single compressor wheel
• Complete rotor (turbine shaft + compressor wheel)

Performance and operation
The B1 R operates with a drive (drag) system that spins the component to perform unbalance measurements. It is engineered for fast setup and repeatable cycles suited to serial production.

Rotation speed
Up to 5000 rpm for automotive applications
Approximately 2500 rpm for industrial, agricultural or marine applications
Actual speed depends on rotor size and type.

Intelligent self-calibration
The B1 R features an automatic self-calibration procedure: manual entry of diameters, lengths or component geometries is not required.

How it works

• A calibration sample weight (30 mg) is applied in two positions
• The system automatically identifies rotor characteristics
• Balancing planes and correction parameters are defined

Advantages

• Elimination of manual data entry errors
• Reduced setup times
• Simplified operation
• Capability for serial production with repeatable cycles

Role in the reconditioning process
The B1 R provides the first essential step in turbocharger reconditioning: it detects and corrects unbalances in rotating parts, prepares rotors for subsequent stages, improves downstream processing efficiency, reduces rework and increases final reliability.

Operational advantages

• Quick and intuitive setup
• No manual parameter input required
• High measurement accuracy
• Optimized production times
• Improved overall reconditioning reliability
