    9717K machine for balancing wheel pairs of railway vehicles weighing up to 1500 kg

    Wheel balancing machine model 9717K is designed for balancing of wheel pairs of railway trains weighing up to 1500 kg, including wheel pairs of passenger locomotives operating at speeds of 140 km/h.

    The machine is designed for use in the repair shops of railway depots, but its modular design and high performance allow using it in small-batch production of wheelsets. The machine can be easily adapted for integration into production lines and complexes.

    The machine has two vibration mounts with “pendulum” hangers and roller self-aligning blocks. It is equipped with a monolithic bed on which the supports can be moved during changeover. Control is by means of a retractable control panel including an industrial computer with touch screen and a balancing system calculation unit. Rotation is transmitted from the drive to the wheelset via a cardan gear with the use of an adapter. The electric drive has a continuously variable speed control thanks to a frequency converter.

    Additional modules such as a jack, gearbox mounting bracket, wheelset run-out control and unbalance correction module can be optionally added to the machine. If required, it is possible to install a cabinet-type safety guard.

     

    Model 9717K machine can perform the following functions:

    • Dynamic two-plane balancing of wheelsets;
    • Balancing of wheelsets together with a gearbox (option);
    • Quality control of wheelset manufacturing and assembly;
    • Quality control of wheelset balancing;
    • Control of radial and axial run-out of wheels (option).
    • The machine can be flexibly configured to work with different types of wheelsets, extending its functionality;
    • Installation of an unbalance correction module allows to correct unbalance of the wheelset without its removal from the machine, saving time and without distracting other specialists;
    • Equipment with jacks for shock-free installation of the wheelset will save the bearing surfaces for correct installation of the axlebox bearings and ensure safety of the assembly units by maintaining high accuracy of the machine for a long time. Jacks with catches provide instant alignment of the wheelset during installation;
    • Installation of the “gearbox fixing bracket” on the machine makes it easy to balance wheelsets with a gearbox in the assembled state, without having to dismantle and reassemble them, which saves time;
    • “Wheelset run-out measurement module” eliminates non-compliant wheelsets.

    Advantages of the PAK-WD software and hardware complex:

    • Machine calibration takes 1 minute, is performed by the operator, provides high accuracy and saves time and money on calling a specialist;
    • Real-time interface shows unbalance in two planes on one screen and prompts when acceptable vibration levels are reached. This allows all users, regardless of skill level, to work efficiently;
    • Measurements can be taken at low speeds (200-400 rpm), providing safety for the machine operator and others;
    • Machine set-up prompts eliminate the possibility of errors made by inexperienced operators
    • Storage and printing of balancing reports provides full control and documentation of the process.

    Design features of the machine

    Wheelset balancing is carried out when they are installed by inner rings of roller bearings, or by centering plugs of roller bearings, on the roller bearings of the machine.

    Machine’s wishbone suspension with bearing hinges and low self resonance frequency guarantees high accuracy of balancing.

    Rotation of the wheelset during balancing is performed by a cardan axial drive.

    Asynchronous variable-frequency electric drive allows to perform infinitely variable speed control without stopping the motor, choosing the optimal modes for balancing.

     

    Self-aligning supports with cylindrical reinforced rollers exclude the possibility of traces of “rolling” on the mounting (bearing) necks of the rotor with low hardness and large mass.

     

    Jacks for smooth installation and removal of the wheelset from the supports ensure the protection of the machine’s mechanisms from impacts, create convenience and safety in process of work.

    PAK BALANCING SYSTEM

     

    Digital system is based on an industrial fanless computer with a touch screen and a measuring unit.

    Set-up mode by “triple start-ups” method with the use of calibration weights on the serial rotors with initial unbalance.

    Calibration of the machine is made by the operator enabling to reach the maximum sensitivity of the machine, thus exempting from the duty to pay annual calibration fees.

    The system provides measurement of the imbalance in the polar coordinate system in two planes with the display of the magnitude and angle of imbalance, both relative to the axis passing through the geometric centers of the wheels, and relative to the axis of rotation of the wheelset.

    • Calculation of the balance tolerance values in default of technical documentation for the balancing product.
    • Value calculation of the correction test weights to simplify the tuning process for the balancing rotor.
    • Real-time balancing display, i.e. if there is any defect or a hindrance of a rotor, it’s visible immediately as fluctuation in measurement result.
    • View of unbalance value in grams, gmm, gsm, gmm / kg optionally.
    • Taking into account the eccentricity of the balancing mandrel.
    • Unbalance distribution on n-planes correction
    • Possibility of decomposition of correcting weights into structurally conditioned anchoring points (blades, fans, slots).
    • Rotor balancing report creating and printing.
    • USB port for printer connection, USB-flash memory, port for connecting to local network and Ethernet network.
