Balancing Machine for Torque Converters
CVW-S-TC

Description

• Soft-bearing vertical balancing machine for measuring the unbalance of torque converters in one or two planes.
• Unbalance correction in one plane.
• Workpiece is clamped with zero-backlash on the spigot and on the hub.
• Clamping by chuck or latching roller chuck.
• Internal converter parts, turbine, and stator are centered using a spindle sleeve.
• Compensation strips are fed from the hasp, cut to length hydraulically, shaped, and transferred to the welding tongs.
• After workpieces are indexed to the compensation position, the spot welding device advances to the welding location using a servo sliding unit.
• The conversion to other workpiece types is achieved by exchanging type-specific adaptor parts.

Applications

• Balancing of empty or pre-filled torque converters in fully automatic production lines in the automotive and supplier industries.
• Unbalance measurement with synchronous speed or speed differential.
• Addition of required oil quantity for partially filled torque converters.
• Unbalance correction by spot welding of compensation strips of variable size on the outside diameter.
  Loading:
  • Manual
  • Automated with gantry loader
  • Automated with robot.

Advantages

• Integration into production line.
• Fully automatic operation.
• Unbalance measurement with synchronous speed or speed differential.
• Adaptor parts for simple and trouble-free retooling.
