Abstract
A device (1) for balancing rotors (3) by material removal is disclosed, which comprises a milling tool (18) provided with a first and a second cutting regions (18a, 18B) disposed transversely of each other, to remove material in the presence of feed movements for cutting, directed both radially of a rotor (3) and tangentially of the outer surface (4) of the rotor (3), and comprising support and relative-movement means (2) for positioning and moving the milling tool (18) and rotor (3) relative to each other, which means engages the rotor (3) in a manner adapted to cause rotation of said rotor about its rotation axis (5) even while the milling tool (18) is removing material from the rotor (3).
Claims10
A device for balancing rotors by material removal, said rotors having a rotation axis, a shaft coaxial with said rotation axis and an outer surface, at least partly cylindrical and coaxial with said rotation axis, and said device comprising at least one milling tool, a drive motor controlling the rotation of said milling tool, and support and relative-movement means adapted to position and move said milling tool and rotor with respect to each other, and electronic drive and control members,
- said milling tool (18) having at least one first and one second cutting region (18a, 18b) disposed transversely of each other, to remove material in the presence of feed movements for cutting, directed both radially of said rotor (3) and tangentially of said outer surface (4),
- and said support and relative-movement means (2) engaging said rotor (3) in a manner adapted to cause rotation of the rotor about said rotation axis (5) even in the presence of interference of said rotor (3) with said milling tool (18) and actuation of said drive motor (19).
