HORIZONTAL ENGINE BALANCING MACHINE LEGEND SERIE

MODEL HC-500 LEGEND DYNAMIC BALANCING MACHINE

High performance engine balancing with laser precision

The Legend is a unique balancing machine, the ultimate solution for balancing crankshafts, flywheels and dampers. The Hines Industries Model HC-500 Legend balancing machine is a computer based, dynamic (two plane) or static (single plane) manual load, single station, balancing machine. The Legend utilizes a rugged hard-bearing suspension that gives high sensitivity and permanent calibration. Part set ups are menu driven, allowing an operator to quickly change between single-plane and two-plane balance operations. The balancer will calculate amount, angle and multiple-hole corrections. Adjustable stanchions allow for easy changeover for a wide range of part sizes. The base is made of concrete for stability and mass. The Legend Series provides the latest in technology available today for engine balancing.

Legend Balance computer

Based on the design of the Industrial Hines Cradle balancer (HC), this machine has many special features and software for balancing crankshafts. It features a PC utilizing the Windows 10 operating system, with a flat panel touch screen. It has User-friendly menus for operator ease of use. Large characters are displayed on a 22” high resolution Flat Panel display. Software includes many screens tailored to balancing crankshafts and engines for performance racing.

Standard Software Capabilities:

• User friendly menus allow for easy setup and easy operation
• Unbalance readout is displayed in both numerical format and as a polar graph
• Dual Polar Displays makes for easy interpretation of balance results
• Single or Two Plane balance readings (dependent on application)
• Balancer displays “Good Part” when balanced to specification. Specification based on adjustable tolerance in PC software
• Unlimited part setups and jobs storage
• Automatically calculated multi-hole drilling calculations tell you how many holes, where to drill, and how deep
• Automatically calculated heavy metal corrections allow you to make even larger corrections using Mallory metal. This may be necessary for jobs with more intense engine modifications
• Part Orientation Angle Indicator. Allows PC to display the angle that the part is rotated to in respect to the machine. Connects to the part via easily attachable magnet
• “Engine Build Sheet” software allows for entry of all details of your engine build
• Laser alignment system helps you line up the part exactly where it needs to be drilled.
• Data Acquisition/IO/Encoder board as well as electronic filter board are enclosed within the computer case along with the PC components. These allow for precise electronic measurement of the unbalance
• Fan-less computer enclosure makes the computer well suited for dirty environment.
