Trim Balance & Vibration Conditioning
Live Automatic Configuration Fast, accurate Trim Balance solutions minimize vibration and on-wing vibration-related maintenance snags. MDS offers an advanced Trim Balance and Vibration Conditioning online system for the collection of live engine data. The system can operate on a stand alone PC or be integrated with proDAS, MDS’ PC-based data acquisition and control system. If integrated, the system is automatically configured by proDAS for the engine type being tested.
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
