Abstract
An automatic dynamic balance adjusting apparatus is provided that adjusts the dynamic balance of a rotating body on a workpiece. The dynamic balance adjusting apparatus includes a control unit, a turntable for carrying the workpiece along a predetermined path, and a plurality of stations, arranged along the path, at which processes are performed on the workpiece. The stations include a measurement station at which the dynamic balance of the rotating body is determined, a dispenser station at which the application of a balance-weight agent is performed to adjust the dynamic balance of the rotating body, and an inspection station at which the dynamic balance of the rotating body is checked. In particular, the dynamic balance of the rotating body may be measured and checked after the rotating body has been mounted on a sub-assembly or the like by utilizing a holder, on which the workpiece is securely mounted, that is resiliently supported on the turntable and is provided with at least one acceleration sensor to provide data used in determining the dynamic balance of the rotating body.
