large, rotating shaft + no guard = dangerous

@AgentJayZ Holy crap now thats impressive
-
@ShokaLion The spinning rotor could cause a lot of damage if anybody was to touch it. So you could call it very dangerous. We make sure not to touch it.
The safest balancing machines are contained within a separate reinforced room. We don't have room for that, so we have to be careful.

Doesn't a machine like that need some kinda guarding? I know you guys know what you're doing and all that don't get me wrong, It just seems like a lot of spinning metal to not have anything around it.

What sort of tolerance do you get to balance a shaft that size to?
Also good job Big AL :D

@GeneralG1810 since it turns at almost 8 thousand rpm, we try to balance it to within 0.5 gram-inch.

@zeebov9 Oh, you've got potential... it's important not to confuse hot air with expertise :)

how come you do this while you have the surface of contact of the turbine with the rollers looking dirty and stained? the sound couldn't possibly be alternating to do this ... "properly" !! lol my ignorant specific opinion...

@authmaax The bearing surfaces are carefully cleaned and lubed before every run. They are cleaner than my eyball. Any dirt would cause vibration, which would be interpreted by the machine heads as imbalance, possibly, so we are very careful about that. The rest of it is fairly rough, though.
