| 84 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PNEUMATICALLY DRIVING A TURBOCHARGER ROTOR IN A BALANCING MACHINE | US14380227 | 2013-03-13 | US20150037150A1 | 2015-02-05 | Friedrich Hoerr |
| Disclosed is a method in which the propulsive power of a drive nozzle (2) is controlled by means of a programmable logic control device (24) having an adjustable internal controller (25) in dependence upon the rotational frequency of a turbocharger rotor (1) detected by a speed sensor (26). Parameters necessary for control are determined empirically in a tuning run which includes tuning the controller (25) to a proportional control action with high gain Kp and inputting the nominal balancing speed as target value for the controller (25), monitoring and comparing the actual speed with the target value. If the actual speed exceeds the set target value, halving the gain Kp of the controller (25) and repeating the run until the actual speed is below the set target value. Then it includes approximating the actual speed to the target speed by generating an additional target value, additively applying the additional target value to the target value, and incrementing or decrementing the additional target value until the target speed of the turbocharger rotor (1) is reached. | ||||||

| 98 | System and method for dispensing adhesive imbalance correction weight | US11216343 | 2005-08-31 | US20060076359A1 | 2006-04-13 | Peter Gross; Todd Eck |
| A system and method are disclosed for dispensing an amount of imbalance correction weight for attachment to a rotary element to reduce an imbalance in the rotary element. The imbalance correction weight includes a number of individual weights provided on a length of double-sided adhesive tape. A guide directs the imbalance correction weight through a channel provided by the guide toward a tape divider. A driver pulls a protective backing away from the tape causing the imbalance correction weight to move through the channel toward the tape divider. A sensor counts the individual weights that move past it. When the sensor has counted a desired number of individual weights, a controller instructs the driver to stop pulling on the protective backing thereby stopping movement of the imbalance correction weight and then instructs the tape divider to divide the tape to provide the amount of imbalance correction weight. A weight applicator automatically receives the amount of imbalance correction weight and is operable to attach it to the rotary element. | ||||||
