Balancing system for a rotating spindle () of a machine tool (); the balancing system has a rotating part comprising a balancing head () with at least one balancing mass () and at least one electric motor () which is adapted to regulate the position of the balancing mass; the rotating part also includes a vibration sensor () and a control system () with at least one hardware () and at least one software () executed by the hardware; the balancing system also includes a two-way contactless communication system () which establishes communication between the rotating control system and a fixed processing and control electronics () connected to a machine tool control unit (). The software of the control system features: a management application () which performs all the management of the balancing head and the vibration sensor during normal operation, and a service application () which, when the control system is powered after a suspension of the power supply, automatically starts up and starts the management application or, if a software update is required, overwrites the existing version of the management application with a new version.

The checking methods includes the steps of feeding molten metal into the mold (), extracting from the mold after a predetermined cooling time the mechanical piece () formed by the solidified molten metal; and acquiring at least one real thermographic image (A, X) of an internal surface () of the mold (). To check the quality of the manufactured mechanical piece, at least part of the real thermographic image and/or related parameters is/are compared with images and/or related parameters belonging to a predetermined acceptability range. A possible anomaly in the mechanical piece is detected if the real thermographic image and/or related parameters do not correspond to said images and/or related parameters belonging to the predetermined acceptability range. A differential thermographic image (C, Z) whose points have values equal to the differences between the values of the points of the real thermographic image and the values of the corresponding points of a reference thermographic image (A, X, B, Y) is determined and used to check at least one part of the manufacturing process.

Thermal camera assembly () comprising a thermal imaging detector () providing thermographic images and/or recordings, a protective casing () which houses the thermal imaging detector and includes a window () with a transparent screen (), one or more sensors () arranged in the protective casing and providing signals indicative of a physical quantity or a state, one or more actuators () arranged in the protective casing, and a control unit () which is integrated in the protective casing. The control unit is directly connected to the thermal imaging detector to receive the thermographic images and/or recordings and transmit them to the outside, to the sensors to receive the relative signals, and to the actuators to control the latter according to the signals received. The control unit is able to manage and control the communication between all the components of the thermal camera and the outside. The thermal camera assembly is part of a control system for controlling an industrial production process and is used in a relative control method.
