Abstract
The method and the device provide for the balancing of rotating bodies, in particular for balancing the drum of a reproduction unit such as a roller of a printing plate exposure device. At least one weight element is provided as a balancing element that can be repositioned along a predetermined movement path, especially a movement path running at a constant radial distance from the axis of rotation of the rotating body. The weight element compensates for imbalances and it can be fixed in different balancing positions by interlocking engagement.
