Understanding
and Applying Unbalance and Vibration Theory
A
Series of Seminars on the Application of Balancing and Vibration
Theory to the Design and Manufacture of of Rotating Machinery.

Balancing
Today
Balancing
is becoming more and more critical in the manufacture of
rotating machinery. Ever increasing operating speeds, lighter
weights, and the drive for increased quality and customer
satisfaction have all contributed to the need for better
vibration and noise reduction, and therefore tighter balancing
tolerances.
Many
manufacturers find their balancing methods and processes
outdated, resulting in balancing becoming the bottleneck
of the process. In addition, in many cases, balancing tolerances
have not been updated in years, resulting in vibration levels
not consistent with today's demanding global market.
This
course will provide a theoretical and practical framework
that will allow attendees to identify and correct any balancing
problem. If you have vibration problems caused by unbalance,
or a costly, innefficient balancing process, or just want
to learn more about balancing, this course is right for
you.

Benefits
of this Course
| • |
Save
tens of thousands of dollars in capital and operating
costs by balancing to the proper balancing tolerance.
|
| • |
Increase
throughput by optimizing the unbalance compensation process |
| • |
Reduce
manufacturing costs by designing for manufacture and manufacturing
for better balance. |
| • |
Improve
operator efficiency and motivation through a better understanding
of the process. |
| • |
Avoid
unnecessary cost by selecting only the balancing machine
features you need. |
Why
should I attend?
The course is available in one and two day versions. The
one day version is a evry intense discussion of balancing
theory and its application to design and manufacturing issues.
The two day version spends more time on specific applications
and problems the attendees may be experiencing.
Testimonials
“Steve
Reimann has been one of the most effective presenters at
our (EMCW) Conferences. His knowledge and unique presentation
style, make his seminars a valuable learning experience.”
Charles E. Thurman, Exec. Dir.
Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Association.
“The
school was successful in demystifying the purpose and techniques
of balancing our small, high speed fans. Steve Reimann's
presentation was thorough in concepts and practice in a
manner that was usable for the varied level of employees
in attendance.”
William DeLozier
Senior Project Engineer
Ametek Rotron
“The
Vibrasys seminar brought together our design and manufacturing
personnel and gave them a common understanding of balancing
issues. As a direct result of the seminar, we modified our
approach to tolerancing, which allowed us to streamline
our balancing process, dramatically reducing costs.”
Frank Barbara
Sr. Manufacturing Engineer
Carrier Corporation
Why
should I attend?
The
course has been developed for design and manufacturing engineers,
quality control personnel, production supervisors, and maintenance
specialists. In addition, special sections and formats are
available to include balancing operators and other production
employees.
About
The Instructor
The
seminar leader, Steve Reimann, has been active in the balancing
industry since 1977. In that time he has amassed a wealth
of experience and knowledge in balancing and vibration analysis.
His education includes a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace
Engineering and a Masters of Business Administration. He
has published over a half-dozen articles and presented numerous
technical papers at industry conferences on balancing theory
and applications. Steve is president of VibraSys, Inc.,
the North American distributor of CEMB balancing machines
and vibration instruments. VibraSys also offers consulting
services in those fields. He is a member of the Electrical
Manufacturing and Coil Winding Association, the American
Seminars Leaders Association, and the Manufacturers Agents
National Association.
