Measure Unbalance cycle
To ensure maximum safety and minimum strain on the machine
and workpiece during turning, you should check the unbalance of
the clamped workpiece and compensate it with a balancing weight.
The TNC provides the Measure Unbalance cycle for this purpose.
The Measure Unbalance cycle determines the unbalance of the
workpiece and calculates the mass and position of a balancing
weight.
To determine unbalance:
Shift the soft-key row in the Manual Operation
mode
Select the MANUAL CYCLES soft key
Select the TURNING soft key
Select the MEASURE UNBALANCE soft key
Enter the speed for unbalance detection
Press the NC start button: The cycle starts rotating
the table at a low speed and gradually increases
the speed up to the defined value. The TNC
displays a window that shows the calculated mass
and radial position of the balancing weight.
If you wish to use a different radial position or mass for the
balancing weight, you can overwrite one value and have the other
value recalculated automatically.
Repeat the unbalance measurement after you have
clamped a balancing weight.
In some cases, you may need to place two or more
balancing weights at different positions in order to
compensate unbalance.
