Single Plane 4-Run Balancing Using Motionics iPad Rotor Balancing Kit & iRotorBalancer App

This this is quick demo video of balancing a single plane rotor using 4-Run method with Motionics iPad Rotor Balancing Kit and iRotorBalancer App. For 4-Run method, only acceleration signal from an accelerometer is required. The process consists of 4 testing runs: 1) measuring original vibration while the testing rotor is running, 2-4) placing a trial weight at 0°, 120° and 240° locations on the rotor and taking measurements respectively. Then correction weight can be calculated from the 4 measured vibration amplitudes. Using Motionics iPad Rotor Balancing Kit, a DAQ box mounted on the back of iPad continuously collects vibration signal from a piezoelectric accelerometer. iRotorBalancer App running on iPad processes incoming signal and computes vibration amplitude. The user only needs to tap a few buttons to capture vibration readings and the App does all the calculations. Hardware: Motionics iPad Rotor Balancing Kit Motionics iPad Rotor Balancing Kit turns an iPad into a rotor balancer and vibration analyzer. It is a purely iPad-based kit consisting of an iPad (optional), a 2-channel DAQ box, an industrial accelerometer and a laser tachometer. The kit comes with several apps for vibration analysis, overall vibration testing, and rotor balancing. The iPad iRotorBalancer app allows single-plane, 2-plane, 4-runs, and overhung balancing to meet different rotor balancing requirements. With just simple tapping and typing, anyone can be an expert in rotor balancing using this package. The iPhone/iPad VibraTestPro App makes the kit a full vibration analyzer with time, domain, and frequency domain analysis. The kit also comes with the iVibraMeter App for iPad which can be used for a quick overall vibration tests of multiple common machines such as pumps, motors, spindles, etc. with rapid PDF report generation capability.
