Balancing of a Workholding Fixture to Turn Aircraft Components
This rotating fixture was bought into our shop for Dynamic Balancing. A mounting adaptor had to be machine so the fixture would mount to our existing arbor. Once assembled, our technician found the initial imbalance was 850(4.5lbs) ounce inches. Our customers balance specification called for no more that 46 ounce inches of imbalance. Our machine shop provided a machine counter weight, which was mounted to the fixture by drilling and tapping two holes. With the counter weight mounted, the fixture was found to have less than 25 ounce inches of imbalance.
