Rotary balancing toolset

[RL]

I am looking for a rotary Machinery balancing toolset or VI to work with Labview.  I already have the Sound & Vibration Toolset and Joint Time Frequency Analysis but I need something that will analyse the vectors captured when measuring a rotating shaft with accelerometers.  Independent software providers require you to re-enter the data therefore they have a clumsy approach unless you use their dedicated hardware.  I wish to use my other toolsets to analyse more difficult cases.

Vi-Tech did offer a toolset in the past but not anymore, nor I am able to find someone who will sell a used copy.

Hello Raymond,

We have a ready-to-use application (DynaBal) that acquires vibration data and analyses the vectors to give mass and phase of the balancing piece. The application is built using LV 6.1 (we could upgrade the code to LV 7.1 if needed).

I have attached a .pdf which shows sample screen shots from DynaBal.

Let me know if this is of interest to you.

Thanks,

Gurdas

Thank you for the two good suggestions.

I will follow through to find out how I can integrate these packages into my Labview setting and use my NI-4452 board effectively.  Hopefully they both provide for hooks so that I can use the data for further analysis or to keep track of the program's recommended weight placements.

Since I intend to balance only one style of rotor the setup should be fairly straight forward and I hope that the balancing iterations will be minimized.
