Single Shot Balancing

With a comprehensive engine database, BalanceTool™ can analyze and learn the characteristics of each engine type it encounters. At the click of a button it can suggest the optimum distribution of available weights to allow the engine to perform at its best.

Real-Time or Post Analysis

Whether you want to balance right away or use data from an engine survey, it’s your choice.  BalanceTool™ can be run alone or integrated with our Puma/Cougar Analyzer. Using the latest communications protocols it can also connect to our Rotating Machinery Analysis package anywhere on a network.

Intuitive Interaction

BalanceTool™ is a modern Windows application using all the best practices regarding layout and useability. Familiar menu layouts, ‘Copy and Paste’, ‘Drag and Drop’ are all features that will make training short and simple

Puma Balance

An acquisition system dedicated to engine balancing means you can get the job done quicker than ever. BalanceTool™ comes fully integrated keeping setup and acquisition as simple as possible.  Starting with 4 input channels and 1 tacho, Puma is a modular system which means it can be expanded alongside your needs.

Rotating Machinery Analysis

Our rotating machinery package offers unsurpassed acquisition and analysis for variable speed measurement systems. It has the capability of analyzing rotor speeds of up to 100,000RPM at 60 pulses per revolution. With extensive real-time displays, data from up to 128 input channels and 4 tachos can be simultaneously processed (fixed or tracked sampling) and streamed to disk.

One touch of a button in BalanceTool™ and you can access this power anywhere on your network, linking it to real-time data for both display and analysis.

ActiveX Automation ActiveX Automation lets your applications take control of BalanceTool™ and automate key functionality such as loading certain documents.  This mean BalanceTool™ can be made to fit even better in your environment.  

 

ODBC Compliant Test Database

BalanceTool™ can automatically add relevant information regarding a test into an ODBC compliant database such as Microsoft Access™.  With the ability to organize thousands of tests and the tools needed to view just those of interest, you’ll never be searching for lost files again.

BalanceTool™ can simplify things even further by automatically naming and relocating files in a clear and concise manner, prior to adding to the database.

Engine Database

Once the parameters for an engine type have been entered, adding to the database allows for easy recall. It also allows the software to continuously learn its characteristics, therefore improving its ability to balance.

Weights Database

Weights are added into a database with information such as part number and mass, they are then tagged to one or more engine types. From there BalanceTool™ does the rest, automatically displaying relevant weights at the right time, ready to be dragged into place, or to be used in automatic computations.
