MTI PBS-4100 Jet Engine Trim Balancing System - MTI Instruments ...

PBS-4100 solves toughbalancing problemsThe PBS-4100 system isoften able to balanceengines that have beenruled “unbalanceable” byother methods, saving thecost of engine removaland teardown.Two-Plane BalancingThe PBS-4100 canperform two planebalancing (both fan andturbine) at one speed ormultiple speeds, anabsolute requirement formany newerengine designs. Itcalculates solutions forboth the fan and theturbine; you can chooseto install balance weightsin either or both planes.Multispeed BalancingThe PBS-4100 is able tobalance engines thatexhibit vibration peaks atmore than one enginespeed. You may specifya set of up to 20 speedsat which you wish toreduce vibration. ThePBS-4100 will provide theoptimum balance solutionfor the entire set. You alsocan bias the solution byassigning a higher priorityto one or more speeds.Multichannel The PBS-4100 accepts two vibrationchannels simultaneously.As an option, theinstrument can beconfigured to accept up tofour channels and asecond tachometer signal.System ExpandabilityThe PBS-4100 can beexpanded to meet yourfuture balancing needs.New software features arebeing developedcontinually and are madeavailable for easyinstallation to increasesystem capabilitiesand accommodate newengine designs.Customer comments about the PBS-4100:“The PBS-4100 is greatwhen I have to get anengine balanced beforecurfew. I can balance anengine in less than halfthe time it used to take.”“We are trim balancingmore engines nowbecause the PBS-4100 isso fast. It’s easier towork a trim balance intoour maintenanceschedule. Our fleetaverage vibrationlevels are way downand we’re getting farfewer crew squawks.”“The key factor for us isthat we can use thesame piece of equipmentfor all our aircraft.No matter what enginewe add to our fleet,we’re sure the PBS-4100 will be able tohandle it.”“The oscilloscopefeature is very handyfor zeroing in on badcables and sensors.”Airlines keep more planes flying when they use the PBS-4100.Balancing is done faster and more accurately than ever before.“A very user-friendlyinstrument.. easy tolearn . . . the practicemode is great fortraining.”“We bought the PBS-4100 on the basis ofestimated savings infuel costs for groundtests. It saved us thefuel, but the realpayback has been itsability to balanceengines that previouslywe would have pulledoff the wing.”“We evaluated everysystem on the marketand found that the PBS-4100 is the best unit forengine balancing. Weintend to equip all ourmaintenance bases withPBS-4100s.”
