Modernisation of cardan shaft balancing machine

We carried out the modernisation of the SCHENK cardan shaft balancing machine of BKV Zrt. Railway Vehicle Repair Service Ltd, as it was no longer suitable for balancing modern cardan shafts with higher rotational speeds.

We performed the modernisation in collaboration with the original manufacturer, SCHENK RoTec. During the modernisation we equipped the machine with a new measuring instrument capable of displaying imbalances numerically and vectorially and performing tolerance calculations according to the ISO 1940 standard. As a further modernising element we also installed a logging device. Our task included the complete review of the basic machine, its assembly and installation, and training the operating personnel.
