Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Auswuchtmaschine
German term or phrase: Wuchtbetrieb
Der Rotor wird als Werkstück in die Auswuchtmaschine eingelegt. Falls Fehler am Rotor zu Fehlmessungen führen, so liegt dies im Verantwortungsbereich des Rotorherstellers. Es liegt daher im Interesse eines Herstellers von Auswuchtmaschinen, diese Fehlerzustände von Fehlern an der Maschine selbst trennen zu können. Dadurch wird vermieden, dass aufgrund von Rotorfehlern schlecht gewuchtete Rotoren auf eine schlecht funktionierende Maschine zurückgeführt werden. Die Erkennung des Einflusses von Zwangsmomenten durch schiefe Rotorzapfen stellt daher eine wichtige Funktion der Überwachung dar. Mit dem Verfahren nach der Erfindung kann die Erkennung solcher Fehler in den normalen ***Wuchtbetrieb*** integriert werden. Dies ermöglicht daher eine sinnvolle Erweiterung der bestehenden Maschinenfunktionen.

rotor balancing


Explanation:
Wuchtbetrieb for car wheels/tyres is wheel or tyre balancing.

So it is (at least my) logical (hopefully) conclusion that, in this case, it must be rotor balancing.

The reference link is to a PDF on rotor balancing

balanced operation


Explanation:
in the "gewuchtet" state, operation is normal, i.e. in the balanced state, so Wuchtbetrieb means "balanced operation" or just normal operation

neutral  Steffen Walter: I'm not sure if you're right because the context mentions an "Auswuchtmaschine" (balancing machine), so the balanced state has not been reached yet. I believe that "Wuchtbetrieb" is the same as "Auswuchtbetrieb" in this particular case.

  -> yes, balancing operation would fit better
