HINES

Automatic Balancing Machines

Hines Industries has strived to make balancing easy. In keeping with the company philosophy of tailoring the machine to meet customer needs, we have developed an array of automation features. Balancing equipment selections range from the simplest hand loaded and operated balance audit machine, to computer assisted manual correction, to auto-correction, to fully automated balancing machines with automatic transfer and unbalance correction. Workpiece handling and transfer systems include everything from simple lift and slide to more complex pick and place operations. Automated corrections include drilling, simple and complex surface grinding, milling (including a three axis mill that traces an arc), welding, epoxy dispensing, and weight insertion, just to name a few.

Innovations in balance measurement, corrections, transfer, and data collection systems greatly enhance machine performance. An example of this is Hines patented A.C.E. (Automatic Correction Enhancement). With ACE turned on, the computer monitors the initial and final unbalance, then makes adjustments to the correction routine. Just leave the machine running and performance is constantly optimized!

Excellent correction ratios were not enough for our customers. To make the exceptional performance easier to quantify, we developed an internal statistics package to monitor and analyze the balancing process. Turn the internal statistics package on and you will have continuous data collection on any of the Hines balancing machines.

Hines balancing equipment also integrate mult-axis robotics and conveyor systems to meet the tolerances and high throughput required by many industries.

As always at Hines, the bottom line is selection. Our infinite combination of standard options, along with the engineering capability to accommodate special needs and requests, allows you to optimize the balance between up front cost and production demands. Contact us for more details.
