MDS Aero Support Corporation offers an advanced Trim Balance and Vibration Conditioning system for the collection of live engine data.
 

Key features include:

• One- or two-plane balancing of current fan engine types
• Easy engine plane configuration
• Up to three vibration transducers available for balancing
• Imbalance data recorded at multiple speeds
• Real time display of vibration amplitudes and phase angles
• Proprietary algorithms used to assess data quality and ensure optimal solutions
• Single-shot or vectorial / intervectorial solutions
• Residual vibration levels calculated for recommended and user-entered solutions
• Influence coefficients intelligently updated with each successful engine balancing session

Fast, accurate Trim Balance solutions minimize vibration and on-wing vibration-related maintenance snags.

This online system can operate on a standalone PC or be integrated with proDAS, MDS’s PC-based data acquisition and control system. If integrated, the system is automatically configured by proDAS for the engine type being tested.
