Steel America: New 110,000 pound balancing machine

W.F Magann laid the foundation for the new Schenck Model HM70B 110,000 pound capacity, belt-driven balancing machine with underslung belt drive and 75 horsepower drive system. Their team dug the 50’x12′ platform, laid the rebar and poured 60 cubic yards of concrete in preparation of this machine’s delivery. The Schenck Model HM70B with CAB 920 instrumentation features permanent calibration for all sizes and configurations of rotors that can be placed in the HM70B balancing machine. The CAB 920 Instrumentation can be set up to measure dynamic unbalance, couple/static unbalance, static/couple unbalance, and static unbalance. Featuring automatic sensitivity selection, the CAB 920 will select the proper internal sensitivity level so the instrumentation will always display the correct amount of unbalance, with proper decimal position, for any unbalance magnitude without the operator entering any additional file parameters.

This is true regardless if the values are large initial unbalances, or ultra-precise, low-level, tolerance values. The addition of this equipment not only allows for the balancing of internal production processes. but opens the door for Steel America to provide another service to other companies.
