The ZBK200 automatic balancing machine for crankshafts

Go Back

Overview

Our ZBK200 machine is specifically designed to automatically achieve all the required tasks for the balancing of crankshafts up to a maximum weight of 200 kgs.

In addition to offering unbalancing measuring, balancing optimisation is achieved by distributing the correction over several planes to achieve the best results. The ZBK200 also runs checks to ensure that the balancing tolerance has been reached.

Special features

The ZBK200 boasts numerous innovative features. It minimises the amount of material to be removed with the obvious advantages in terms of drilling times and useful tool working life. It also virtually eliminates the amount of reject pieces and enables a fast, controlled drilling axis unit to be used, with enormous advantages in terms of flexibility.

In addition, the ZBK200 has a special hook drive system and offers a single unbalance measuring and drilling station, meaning that both actions can be achieved on the same station.

Operators can change the drill speed during operation and there is also the functionality to make swarf breaker cycles. Machine operation is controlled by computer to allow for greater flexibility and to change production parameters in a few minutes and all motors are controlled by PLC, connected to the instrumentation.
