STEP 0 - Balancing Setup
Mount the sensors
To know where should the weight be positioned
to x the unbalance, you need to measure the
vibration of the machine (vibration sensor) and to
know its angular position (tachometer)
Attach the accelerometer onto the machine (with a
cementing screw, stud or a magnet) at the closest place
possible to the bearing of the plane to be balanced
Attach the tachometer with the holding support, and point the
laser to a reective tape
DO NOT CHANGE THE POSITION OF THE
SENSORS DURING THE WHOLE BALANCING
PROCESS

STEP 0 - Balancing Setup
Dene the machine
On the Fixturlaser SMC device go into the
balancing module, create or select a folder!
Create a new machine
Type on OK to enter into the machine
. Dene the number of planes to balance (this manual
shows a 1-plane balancing)
Dene the angle unit used to determine visually the
position of the additional weights (angular, number
of blades, number of holes…). Mark the reference
(angle, blade, hole, reective tape…)

STEP 0 - Balancing Setup
Dene the measurement setup
Go to the measurement tab in the balancing setup
Dene the number of vibration sensors used at the
same time (1 or 2)
If necessary, change the display units
Go to the sensor position tab
Optional: Dene the accelerometer and tachometer
angular position
Optional: Adjust ISO automatic comparison properties
in the « Units & control » tab
Click on NEXT to start the procedure

STEP 1 - Free Run
Do a reference measurement
The free run is the rst step, required to have a
vibration reference for the machine, before adding
weights. START THE MACHINE.
Check the tachometer setup using the shortcut on the
left side of the screen
Use the automatic setup tool for a quick setup
Test the rotation speed to check that the value is con-
form to what is expected, adjust manually if necessary
Save the tacho setup
Start the acquisition of the free run
STOP THE MACHINE and go to the next step

STEP 2 - Trial Run
Denition & measurement
The rst trial run consists in measuring the
vibration of the machine after adding a known
weight at a know position.
Add a known weight on the machine and note its
position: e.g., screw and bolt on the 3rd blade of a
fan, welded material at 90°...
Optional: if you don’t know which weight to add,
use the trial weight automatic estimation
Dene the weight and angle. Note that the angle
depends on the angle/units criteria dened in the
machine setup (e.g., number of blades)
Type on NEXT
Start the machine, wait for stabilisation and launch
the acquisition of the trial run. Stop the machine
once acquisition completed

STEP 3 - Balancing Run
Denition & measurement
1. 2.
4. 3.5.
The balancing run consists in adding a weight
supposed to x the unbalance.
Select the run from which you want to add the
balancing weight
Add the recommended mass at the recommended
location. Note that if you cannot nd the exact mass
and location suggested, you can adjust the values
manually
Start the acquisistion of the balancing run, and
check the result
If the improvement is su󰀩cient (relative to the initial
measurement, or compared to the ISO standard),
you’re done!
If not, repeat steps 2 & 3 through the next Trim run

STEP 4 - Automatic Reporting
Open the trap and connect a USB key to the
Fixturlaser SMC
Go back to the list of machines created to access
the report function
Type on the report icon to save it on the USB key
Go back to your computer to edit, print the report
or send it by email.
Note: If you don’t have a USB key, connect your
Fixturlaser SMC directly to the computer and go
into the Export folder to get your report.

At any step of the procedure, you can access the
step by step wizzard using the shortcut on the left
side of the screen
Fixturlaser SMC positions the user automatically at
the step where he/she is in the procedure.
It is also possible to very quickly jump from one step
to another previous step (already realized) through
this screen.
