iRotorBalancer

iRotorBalancer is a field balancing tool that uses an external accelerometer and tachometer connected to the iPad for single-plane & two-plane rotor balancing.

Description

iRotorBalancer is a technical tool for field balancing of rotating machinery in a single plane and two planes. The iPad application connects to the Motionics 2-CH DAQ box mounted on an iPad case, collects the vibration amplitude and phase with an accelerometer and a laser tachometer, and calculates the correction balancing weights and their angular positions for the tested machines. Following the guidance of iRotorBalancer, there is no need to go through complicated and tedious balancing calculations again. A PDF report option is available after each balancing process. Users can easily generate rotor balancing reports that include test information, machine images, vibration before and after balancing, correction weight information, custom notes, GPS location and signatures. The PDF report can be saved and organized based on plant and machine in a local report manager for future evaluation or exported via AirDrop, Email, wireless printing, or cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.).

Features

  • Single-Plane balancing using the Vector Method (Amplitude & Phase Measurements)
  • Single-Plane balancing using the Four-Run Method (Amplitude Measurement)
  • Two-Plane inbound balancing using the Influence Coefficients Method (Amplitude & Phase Measurements)
  • Two-Plane overhung balancing (Amplitude & Phase Measurements)
  • Real-time signal waveform and FFT spectrum display
  • Automatic selection of 1x peak amplitude and phase
  • Polar plot to graphically show location of trial and correction weights
  • Convenient calculator to estimate trial weight
  • Angular mass distribution calculator to help distribute mass if correction weight location is not accessible
  • Weight removal calculator to help determine drill bit size and depth for material removal
  • Interactive permissible residual imbalance determination to quickly evaluate balancing quality
  • PDF report with test information, balancing data, machine vibration before and after balancing, map location, pictures from library or camera, signatures and notes
  • Local report manager to save test reports
  • PDF report export via AirDrop, Email, wireless printing and cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc)

Compatibility

iRotorBalancer is compatible with Motionics wired 2-CH iPad rotor balancing kit.
