  • Abrasive water jet balancing apparatus and method for rotating components
    Patent number: 10272542
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for correcting unbalance of a turbocharger component relative to an axis of rotation of the turbocharger component. The method includes determining one or more unbalance characteristics for the turbocharger component, determining parameters for a first correction operation to be performed in a first correction plane, and moving the turbocharger component to align a first correction area of the turbocharger component with respect to a first water jet cutter and performing the first correction operation using the first water jet cutter. The method may include determining parameters for a second correction operation to be performed in a second correction plane and moving the turbocharger component to align a second correction area of the turbocharger component with respect to a second water jet cutter and performing the second correction operation using the second water jet cutter.

  • Dimensional gage with hollow spindle
    Publication number: 20050160613
    Abstract: A dimensional gage adapted to make measurements on a workpiece has a fixed member, a spindle assembly comprising a hollow spindle which receives the fixed member and is rotatable with respect to the fixed member, a motor which rotates the spindle assembly, and a sensing assembly attached to the fixed member and adapted to measure one or more dimensions of the workpiece. The dimensions may be measured both statically and dynamically, and the sensing assembly can have separate sensor assemblies for each dimension to be measured.
