  • Balance correcting apparatus for a rotating body
    Patent number: 4780593
    Abstract: The unbalance in rotating equilibrium of a rotating body is corrected by carrying out a padding welding on the rotating body.The correction of the unbalance is carried out, first, by determining a position and an amount to be padded on the rotating body on the basis of measurements on a bearing of the rotating unbalance and an unbalanced mass and then by carrying out the padding welding in a predetermined amount at a predetermined position while varying a relative position between the rotating body and the padding welding means.This enables a full automation of the unbalance correction of a rotating body.
