Design

Range of application

The latest generation of moment weighing scales – the WME series – enables the blades to be even more precisely weighed and distributed on the rotor via the BLADIS Net software. The WME series moment weighing scales precisely determine the mass and the exact centre of gravity. The reduction in unbalance through weighing is ideally suited for all new bladed rotors and also following rotor repair.

Thanks to the blades being positioned centrally above the measuring device, the space required for the WME series is significantly reduced. The measuring unit is mounted on a beam directly on the scale, which enables a simple, space-saving installation.

BLADIS Net – the software for blade distribution features a simple and easy to operate user interface with touch screen. The blade distribution is based on continuously improved algorithms that are coordinated with the scale’s enhanced possibilities. The new, integrated database concept also enables rapid calculation of the distribution and transfer of the data to other applications. Numerous additional functions simplify working with BLADIS Net and offer a comfortable and user-friendly operation.

1) Without adapter error. Calculated for a blade with 20 kg mass and an axis of rotation of the centre of gravity of the blade of 1500 mm. Blades with a smaller rotational radius will be measured more accurately               
2) Without adapter error. Calculated for a blade with 100 kg mass and an axis of rotation of the centre of gravity of the blade of 2000 mm. Blades with a smaller rotational radius will be measured more accurately
