At TWI, an innovative solution for balancing lightweight rotating machinery is currently being offered. This application requires improved accuracy to quantify the unbalance alongside high precision techniques to correct the unbalance.
To overcome these challenges, TWI uses high-speed laser and optical sensors, combined with the necessary acceleration, velocity and/or displacement sensors, for detecting the unbalance. The correction techniques for lightweight rotating machinery entail the addition or removal of material using innovative 3D printer tools for plastic and metals.
