The latest evolution
in commercial aircraft jet engine maintenance
Small, lightweight, fast working and ruggedly built, the 4th generation PBS-4100+ is a truly portable solution contained in a new, high-visibility case. To further support mobile operations, the 4th generation features battery power that can provide up to 4 hours of continuous use on a single charge.
If you have worked with earlier models of the PBS family, you will recognize the same familiar, expert functions and workflow for jet engine vibration diagnostics, surveys, balancing, and maintaining historical engine data. The 4th generation unit is completely compatible with earlier PBS systems.
With traditional methods, it can take multiple time and fuel consuming engine runs to determine an approximate balance solution. Other “automated” balancing systems require you to manually enter readings or to guess which specific balance weights to use. The PBS-4100+ system is the only system that automatically collects and stores vibration data for future reference, calculates precise balance solutions, and determines the specific balance weights and balance weight locations – sometimes in as little as a “single shot” using the built-in influence coefficient method. Fuel
and time savings over conventional balance methods can be up to 80%!
The associated WinPBS software provides intuitive and easy-to-interpret balancing solution diagrams that directly indicate to the user what balance weights are required, and where they are required.
