Balancing is required for most applications with rotating components, such as electric motors, fans, pumps, and turbines. Minimizing unbalance subsequently increases quality by reducing vibrations and loads. It enables higher speeds with less noise and a longer service life.

Balancing is usually dominated by subtractive processes, machining and, increasingly, lasers. Compared to additive processes, components must be designed to include additional “sacrificial material,” which can then be partially removed. Additive balancing, on the other hand, is more material-efficient. This is because exactly what is needed is applied.

This provides users with a solution for serial industrial processes that require maximum accuracy without removing material from the workpiece. With minimum possible correction accuracies of 0.1 mg, residual unbalances of 1 mg*mm can be achieved, as required in the optical industry. Due to its exceptional process reliability, this additive approach is also interesting for applications with medium unbalances of 50-100 mg*mm, such as small fans.
