A method and apparatus for balancing tools 16 is disclosed which may uniquely characterize a needed balance for each of the individual tools 16 and which may then store the needed balance conditions so as to use the balancing data upon every use of the individual tool 16. This balance is achieved, in one embodiment, by the movement of certain balancing objects 28 from a balance containment member 22 to cavities 26 within a balance reception member 24. Should the original balance condition falter, the apparatus and methodology of this invention allow the balance conditions to be updated, dynamically, and to be stored for later use.

Method and apparatus for tool balancing

A computerized control system and method is disclosed for controlling a temperature differential balancer associated with a rotating device. The control system utilizes a microprocessor under stored program control which automatically recalibrates the phase angle difference between a vibration signal and a position signal of said rotating device. This difference is then used to define a corrected chamber to be heated or cooled in order to effect the desired device balance.
