Getting The Balance Right: Reducing Costs while Boosting Productivity
Universal Balancing is renowned for offering a total product range and service, with original solutions to suit individual requirements. Universal Balancing is responding to customers’ growing need to make savings with its new servo-controlled automated balancing machines along with a raft of low-cost options.
SERVO CONTROL
Servo control means that set-up and data for each job can be accessed and changeover of parts achieved at the touch of a button, allowing shorter production runs of different components to be carried out on a single machine. In this way, the equipment is used to full capacity, saving time and eliminating potential operator error.
FAST CHANGEOVER
Changeover time on Universal Balancing’s KISS-234 automatic propshaft balancer, for example, can take as little as 5-10 minutes compared with anything up to 4 hours on other manufacturer’s equipment. This is reduced to around 15 seconds on semi-automatic vertical models.
NON-SERVO MACHINES
For production lines requiring less frequent changeover, Universal Balancing offers a low-cost range of non-servo semi-automatic vertical and horizontal balancing machines available with drilling, milling or welding units for automated on-machine correction. Its entry level Eco-SA Vert automated balancer with automated drilling can provide even further cost savings. These versatile machines offer high throughput with guaranteed quality.
UPGRADE / REFURBISHMENT SERVICE
Universal Balancing’s upgrade and refurbishment service provides a simple but effective way to significantly reduce capital costs while maintaining productivity levels. Any manufacturer’s balancer, such as Schenck, CEMB, Hofmann, BTI etc, can be upgraded to world leading standards, resulting in greater accuracy and speed – at a fraction of the cost of buying new.
CONTRACT OPTIONS
Businesses requiring balancing for the first time or those choosing to outsource this specialty, can take advantage of Universal Balancing’s contract options. Rather than making considerable investment in equipment and possibly labor at the outset, this fast turnaround service will cater for low to medium volume balancing requirements. This is a cost-effective solution for those with one-off prototype/low volume work – or those who simply prefer the advantages of sub-contracting.
MANUAL OPTIONS
A further option if volumes are low to medium but labor is available, is Universal Balancing’s range of manual balancers that offer the same high level of technology and user-friendliness as the automated versions and faster production rates than competitor’s equipment.
