The AB-1 was developed in cooperation with electric motor manufacturers in an effort to provide a manually operated machine that could be used in a production capacity and was simple, efficient and cost effective.
The AB-1 combines a unique set of features to specifically address the issues that motor manufacturers face when balancing electric motor armatures. The horizontal, hard-bearing machine can accommodate rotors weighing up to 11 lbs. and up to 12 inches in length.
A variety of drive and bearing components are available, so operators can easily configure the machine based on the rotor specifications. Once the rotor is in the machine, the operator needs only to initiate the automatic measuring cycle and the AB-1 will automatically measure, average the measured unbalance, lock the readings, and stop the rotor at the exact location that a correction needs to be made.
The AB-1 comes equipped with Schenck's Computer Aided Balancing (CAB) 700 instrumentation to streamline the balancing process and provide accurate measuring results in only a few simple steps. An integrated slot counter provides speed and phase reference, and more dependable measuring results when balancing motor armatures compared to a traditional photocell.
The CAB 700 also has a “component correction” feature so corrections can be made precisely on the pole head, or another location that is more convenient.
