In order to limit installation restrictions as much as possible, Hofmann’s vertical balancing machines for single components like railroad wheels, brake disks or ring gears are designed as soft-bearing machines. The main advantage of this concept is the reduction of disturbances like floor vibrations, or vibrations caused by neighboring machines.
As a result, the addition of a complex, costly foundation can be avoided. Depending on the customer specification, these machines can be designed solely as unbalance measuring machines, or they can be combined with a specially developed milling machine.
