By making suitable external arrangements in the existing balancing machine, the operation time of the machine is curtailed, which in turn increases the productivity of the machine as well as dwindle human effort. It took minimum of a few hours to align the base of the motor bed in the balancing machine. L-angle plate, with a guide, key and disc brake are the extraneous arrangements in balancing machine.

The case hardening process involves infusing additional carbon into the case. It is usually done after the part has been formed into its final shape.

Problem description

Before making these extraneous arrangements, the balancing machine’s motor base setup is maneuvered forward or backward by clasping it upward with the help of crane hoists. After placing it in the correct position, the alignment of motor base setup has changed because it has no fixtures to locate in the correct position, so that the motor base setup has to be aligned manually by using a dial gauge. This calibration is done with reference to bearing setup support. Fig.6 Before implementation

Implementation of l-angle plate

Initially, the setup has to be in correct aligned position. Now, the L-angle plate with guide, key is bolted to the four corners of the motor base setup, so that the base setup is placed in the correct position. There is no need of alignment afterwards.
