AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing semi-mold balance calibration system suffers from additional force and torque errors during the loading process because the center of the balance loading head does not coincide with the center of the force application device, which affects the calibration accuracy.

Method used

A force-applying component is designed, with the design and calibration center of the loading head as the coordinate origin.

The force-applying devices adopt a weightless force source system, and the force value is monitored and controlled in real time by a force sensor.

Benefits of technology

This achieved precise alignment between the loading head of the balance and the loading center of the force application device, ensuring the accuracy of the calibration data for the semi-mold balance, reducing error sources, and improving calibration accuracy.
