General warning
Balancing machines for rotors with a weight of more than 16 kg require at least
a contact protection independent from the type of test rotors.
Balancing machines for rotors with a weight of less than 16 kg can be operated
without safety device if all test rotors are in safety class A as per DIN ISO
21940-23. If only very small parts can break away from the rotor, an eye
protection or safety glasses provide sufficient protection for this balancing
machine. Make sure that the energy of the flying parts does not exceed the
limits prescribed by the safety standards for safety glasses (e.g. ISO 4849).
In special cases balancing machines with a maximum rotor weight of 16 kg are
equipped with a switch to disable locking of the drive when the guard is open.
This switch can be operated by a key only. If your balancing machine is
equipped with such a key
ensure that the key is available to authorized personnel only. These
persons must be able to define the safety class of a rotor according to DIN
ISO 21940-23.
ensure that rotors that are not in compliance with safety class A as per DIN
ISO 21940-23 will never be balanced while locking of the drive is disabled
and the guard is open!
Unintended use of the balancing machine will cause danger for man and
machine.
The present safety instructions describe general hazards which may occur in
conjunction with the machine delivered, and supply information on how to avoid
these dangers. In addition, specific hazards are outlined in the respective
operating instructions.
As the operator of a machine you can essentially contribute to the prevention of
accidents by your own behaviour. Certainly this corresponds with your own
interests and therefore we ask you to observe the following general advices.

2. Information on …
2.1 Transport
Proper use of lifting and transport equipment must be ensured. There are
separate instructions for these facilities, which must be observed. Transport
restraints fitted on the machine, if any, must be removed prior to initial
commissioning.
Charge only experienced staff with the fastening of loads and instruction of
crane operators! The instructor must be in visual or verbal contact with the
operator.
Use only adequate and technically perfect lifting equipment as well as load
suspension devices with sufficient safe working load. Do not stop or work
under hanging loads.
For further information, please refer to the chapter "Transport and Installation
of the Machine" in this technical documentation.
2.5 Personnel
The user must ensure that only qualified personnel is entrusted with work
relating to the machine (e.g. operation, handling of tools, service, maintenance
and monitoring).
The responsibility of the machine operator must be defined - also as far as
motor vehicle regulations are concerned - and he must be put in a position to
refuse instructions from third parties, which might jeopardize safety.
Staff that has to be trained, instructed, or is practising or undergoing a general
training is allowed to work at the machinery/installation only under constant
supervision by an experienced person.
Such work on or in the vicinity of the machine must not be undertaken by
unqualified personnel. The term qualified personnel means persons authorized
by the person responsible for the safety of the plant to carry out the required
work, on account of their training, experience and instruction, and on the basis
of their knowledge of the applicable standards, specifications, accident
prevention rules and operating conditions. When performing this work, they
must be able to recognize and avoid possible dangers (cf. DIN/VDE 0105 or
IEC 364).
Work on the hydraulic, electrical, gas-fueled system must be carried out only by
Specialized personnel.
We point out that conformity with valid European directives must probably
be established.
When replacing terminal boxes, make sure that the cable inlet points
downwards, and is properly sealed. Damaged seals of PG cable glands and
terminal boxes must be replaced immediately.
If specified in the provisions, machine and installation components subject to
inspection, maintenance and repair must be deenergized. First check that the
disconnected components are dead, then ground and short-circuit them as well
as isolate adjacent live components!
2.13 Ventilation
Adequate ventilation of the place of installation of the machine must be
ensured by the user. Any vapours occurring (e.g. hot hydraulic oil, evaporation
of drilling fluid) as well as dust (e.g. grinding dust) must be extracted, since
they constitute a health hazard.
2.16 Cleanliness
Keep the machine and its working area in a clean and tidy condition. Oil
leakages, or fine, sandy grinding dust will form a highly dangerous, slippery
surface. Machining swarf may cause cuts. Workpieces, machine components
and containers left lying around may also constitute a serious danger.
Clean the machine, especially connections and threaded unions, of any traces
of oil, fuel or preservatives before carrying out maintenance/repair. Never use
aggressive detergents. Use lint-free cleaning rags.
3. Safety rules
In all work related to operation, change in production, retooling or setting of the
machinery and its safety-relevant devices as well as inspection, maintenance
and repair, activation and deactivation procedures specified in the operating
instructions and the instructions listed below must be followed.
Transport equipment
Rotating spindles, shafts, axles, journals
Tools
Clamping elements
Crushing points between moving and stationary components
Separators, pulling-in points, and feeder equipment
Advance systems
Belt and chain gear
Spindle sleeves, guide elements, etc.
Conductive components
Apart from the operating personnel no other persons must be present in the
immediate vicinity of the machine during operation. Before switching on the
master switch and the control voltage, check that …
… everybody has left the danger zone of the machine. Keep strangers who
have no business to be at your workshop place away from the machine.
… all units have been fixed, correctly set-up and are in their home position
and that the correct clamping elements, workpiece-dependent parts and
tools have been mounted.
… the protective and safety equipment has been installed and is ready for
use. Make use of the safety tooling delivered. Before securing a safety area,
make sure that all persons have left that area.
… all screws of the balancing, unbalance correction and drive units have
been tightened.
… the belt and chain drives have the correct tension and are not worn.
… the speed and load of the machine has been selected in accordance with
the performance data. Overloading is not permitted.
… Pipelines for compressed air, lubricating and hydraulic oils do not have
leaks, loose pipe connections, abrasion points or are damaged.
… all current conductors have been adequately insulated and are intact.
Do not come close to a rotating part or to a moving machine part. The moving
machine parts are usually identified in colour in compliance with the valid
regulations.
Use the machine only in accordance with the intended purpose and within the
scope of the specified data. This applies also for the protective devices, which
are designed for a specific hazard.
If the machine is designed for variable speeds, and the amount of unbalance of
a rotor is not known, the lowest speed which still produces a measurement
should be selected first. Following this, the measured unbalance must be
corrected. Now a higher speed can be chosen for a check.
Calibration can be check only by means of calibration runs together with the
addition of test and/or correction weights.
Isolate the machinery or installation from any source of energy and protect
it against accidental reactivation:
G disconnect the machine or equipment from any energy supply
whatsoever, i.e. isolate all electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and/or
pneumatic equipment from the electical power supply. This can be done,
for example, by opening the master switch, in which case, however,
cables between the power feed and the master switch will still carry
current.
G Lock main control devices and pull out the key and/or apply a danger
sign to the mains switch / main control panel.
If the user of the machine has special regulations in force necessitating the
control of the machine being designed in such a way that this requirement
cannot be observed, the user is responsible for entrusting skilled and
competent personnel with the task of ensuring that suitable safety measures
are carried out. In this case the "Emergency Off" button must be pressed, or
the control voltage switched off.
After completion of the work, start-up of the machine is not permitted until
responsible, skilled staff has checked that …
… the protective and safety equipment has been re-installed and is ready
for use.
Clean the machine, especially connections and threaded unions, of any traces
of oil, fuel or preservatives before carrying out maintenance/repair.
Repair means any change in the condition of the machine, with a view to
restoring the working order or intended condition of the machine.
If damages due to wear or for other reasons occur on the machine let it repair
immediately, especially in case the damage reduces the reliability of the
machine.
Only skilled and competent personnel having the necessary expertise and
knowledge for carrying out this job must be entrusted with carrying out this
work.
secure the working area with a red-and-white safety chain and a warning
sign.
Clean machine or installation, and particularly pipe connections and union
pieces, from oil, fuel and detergent.
disconnect the machine from all energy supply. In particular the following
steps must be taken:
G …Disconnect electrical power supply. This can be achieved, for
example, by opening the master switch, in which case, however, the
cables between the power feed and the master switch will still be
carrying current.
In addition …
For carrying out overhead assembly work always use specially designed or
otherwise safety-oriented ladders and working platforms. Never use
machine parts as a climbing aid.
Make sure that a second person is present who, in case of emergency can
actuate the emergency stop or the mains switch with voltage trip. Use only
insulated tools.
Control cabinets may be opened only by authorized staff.
Terminals that are live when the mains switch is deactivated, are covered.
Reference is made to the presence of voltage.
Bear in mind that there is still voltage on the illumination of the control
cabinet and service sockets.
Upon completion of the work the machine must not be switched on again until
responsible skilled personnel has checked that ...
… the protective and safety equipment has been re-installed and is ready
for use.
Only use low-voltage soldering irons with high-ohmic earth connection, and
anti-static soldering exhausters.
Semiconductor devices and printed circuit boards fitted with such devices must
be transported and stored in anti-static devices (e.g. manufacturer's packaging
material).

1. Definition, use
In balancing, master rotors, calibration and test rotors are used as working
resp. test standards for the purposes of calibration or qualification of the
balancing machine.
Master rotors simulate an ideal workpiece and are employed to measure and
compensate the influences of the balancing planes on each other in cylindrical
workpieces and also to calibrate the size of the unbalance indication in general.
Setup rotors are used in a way which is similar to the use of master rotors,
however, the quality demands are not that high.
Test rotors are used, in addition to the above-mentioned applications, for
standardized tests in accordance with ISO 2953 (UMAR = minimum achievable
residual unbalance, unbalance reduction ratio) or in accordance with SAE
ARP4048.
Master and test rotors as well as test masses can be designated as test
equipment within the meaning of ISO 9001, with direct influences on the quality
of the product. They must be identifiable and have to be inspected at specified
intervals or prior to each use.
2. Construction, identification
Master and test rotors consist of a basic body, which is made out of an
original workpiece or
manufactured as a
completely new part. In
defined positions, this basic
body is provided with
threads, in which the test
masses may be attached.
The test masses (also
referred to as test weights)
are used to generate a
defined unbalance.
(1) Example of a universal test rotor for horizontal In addition, bias weights (e.g.
balancing machines
bobweights on crankshafts)
are required in many cases,
in order to simulate masses
which do not yet exist at the
time of balancing.
System-inherent unbalances
in unsymmetrical rotors are
compensated during the
balancing process by master
weights.
3. Handling
All components of test equipment (master rotors, test rotors, bias weights
and test weights) must be handled with utmost care. Any damage leads to
measuring deviations and thus to incorrect machine adjustment.
÷ Keep the test equipment in a safe place and protect it from dirt. For this
purpose, the original container in which the part was supplied is an
appropriate option (wooden case, metal box).
4. Periodical inspection
Test equipment is subject to wear. For this reason, the characteristics must
be checked at regular intervals - even if there is no obvious damage. These
characteristics include, among others, the following:
We can carry out an independent inspection of master and test rotors, bias
and test weights in our Testing Laboratory for Balancing Technique, which is
accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
The inspection is based on traceable processes and is documented by
reports with different quality levels:
A. Inspection certificate (Test report acc. to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025)
B. Inspection report (Inspection certificate 3.1 acc. to DIN EN 10204)
C. Inspection protocol acc. to SCHENCK standard
