The Balanset-1A measuring unit accepts ICP (IEPE) piezo-electric accelerometers directly via the built-in constant-current supply. If your existing sensors are charge-mode (older design without built-in electronics), a charge amplifier is required between them and the Balanset input. We can advise on the correct adapter if you describe your sensor type on the <a href=\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/uz\/community\/\">community forum<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can it replace electronics on a soft-bearing as well as a hard-bearing machine?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"ans\">Yes. The influence-coefficient method used by the Balanset software works with both hard-bearing and soft-bearing machine types. The calibration approach differs slightly &mdash; hard-bearing machines use dimensional calibration; soft-bearing machines require a calibration run with a known test mass &mdash; but both workflows are fully supported in the software.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is the difference between the OEM set and the standard Full Kit?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"ans\">The OEM set (&euro;1,735) includes the two-channel USB measuring unit, two ICP accelerometers, the laser tachometer and the software, packaged for permanent installation inside a balancing machine. It does not include the carry case, the digital scale or the magnetic sensor stand. The Full Kit (&euro;1,975) adds those items and is optimised for portable field use. Both run identical software and produce identical measurement results. For a machine retrofit, the OEM set is the purpose-built choice.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is any mechanical work needed on the balancing machine?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"ans\">Not typically. The retrofit replaces only the measuring electronics &mdash; sensors, interface unit and software. The bed, pedestals, rollers and drive remain untouched. If the machine has not been used for an extended period, a general service (lubrication, runout check, pedestal stiffness verification) is good practice before re-commissioning, but that is independent of the electronics upgrade.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How long does a typical retrofit installation take?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"ans\">For a technician familiar with the machine, connecting the sensors and laser tacho, installing the software, and completing the first calibration rotor typically takes one working day. If the original wiring looms and terminal strips are intact, installation can be faster. See the <a href=\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/uz\/how-it-works\/\">step-by-step guide<\/a> for the full procedure.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can the Balanset OEM set be integrated into an automated or semi-automated production line?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"ans\">Yes. The Balanset software can be operated from a script or integrated into a semi-automated station. The unit communicates via USB and the software provides structured output suitable for logging into a production database or quality system.
