Precision engine balancing on the mill you already own
Overview
The Edge is an efficient, lower-investment dynamic balancing option for automotive and industrial work. It mounts directly to a Bridgeport-style milling machine, eliminating the need for a dedicated standalone balancer, so you save floor space and reduce equipment investment without sacrificing precision.
The system is built on precision hard-bearing balancing technology, in a compact, modular package sized to the mill you already run.
A lightweight 12-pound drive assembly keeps setup and teardown fast and manageable, and the modular design lets you mount or remove the system as your shop needs change. Configure the controls around your workflow: a Windows IoT laptop, an all-in-one PC, or a ruggedized enclosure. For shops without a mill, the same system is available as the Edge DBS standalone station with integrated correction drilling.
The Edge is aimed squarely at automotive engine balancing: crankshafts and flywheels balanced on the mill that already does your correction work. Because measurement and correction happen on the same machine, there is no moving the part between a balancer and a drill press, and no second machine to buy, power, or find floor space for.
The system runs the same ProBal DBS software as our full-size machines: bobweight calculation, real-time imbalance readout with amount and angular position, drill correction guidance, and balance reports.
Mounts directly to Bridgeport-style milling machines with no dedicated floor space required.
A 12-pound, 1.3 HP brushless DC motor keeps setup and teardown fast for a single operator.
Converts existing equipment into a dynamic balancer without the need for new machinery.
Modular design makes it easy to switch between balancing and machining tasks.
Supports optional tooling like bobweights, gram scales, and connecting-rod weighing fixtures.
Choose a laptop, touchscreen PC, or ruggedized enclosure based on your workflow and shop environment.
Standard kits can ship within a few weeks.
Easy to store, transport, or share between stations in multi-bay engine shops.
Upgrade to a permanent Edge DBS setup later. Same core system, no need to repurchase components.
Choose Your Configuration
Both configurations run on the same compact drive: a 12-pound brushless DC motor delivering clean, controllable torque. The lightweight drive makes setup and teardown fast and manageable for a single operator, and it mounts on a mill table or a standalone base without compromising power, a fit for both performance-engine and remanufacturing shops.
The Edge Mill Mount System installs directly onto a standard Bridgeport-style milling machine, turning existing equipment into a fully capable dynamic balancing station. This setup saves valuable floor space and allows quick changeover between machining and balancing tasks. The lightweight drive assembly makes it easy to mount or remove the system as needed, giving shops maximum flexibility without a dedicated footprint.
For shops without a mill, or those that want a permanent balancing station, the Edge DBS standalone variant packages the same measurement system with integrated correction drilling, delivering the compact Edge approach as a self-contained balancer. Its rigid purpose-built base carries linear-rail slides for the drilling operation, matches the balancing performance of the mill-mounted setup, and keeps your mill free for other work.
Optional bobweights, gram scales, and connecting-rod weighing fixtures are available for crankshaft balancing.
Axial drilling bars drill correction holes for heavy-metal installation, on a Bridgeport-style mill or on the Edge DBS.
Add taller columns for mills with risers, or roller-bearing trunnions for smoother rotation of heavier assemblies.
Applications
While the Edge is used most heavily in engine balancing, it adapts to industrial work as well: rotors, impellers, fans, and other rotating components. We configure fixturing, mounting, and controls to match your parts and processes, whether you are balancing a crankshaft, a blower wheel, or a purpose-built rotating assembly such as an auger or a flywheel. Every system supports production, remanufacturing, and prototyping work across industries.
Balanced in performance and remanufacturing engine shops, with bobweight setup and heavy-metal correction.
Balance armatures and motor shafts with high accuracy using standard or purpose-built fixtures.
Single-plane or dual-plane balancing for impellers and small turbines.
Balance HVAC and industrial fan assemblies with modular fixtures.
Purpose-built rotating assemblies, with fixturing configured to match the part.
Engine flywheels balance on the same mill-mounted setup as your crankshaft work.
Designed to get you balancing fast with no guesswork.
We start with a conversation. What parts are you balancing, and how often? From crankshafts to purpose-built rotors, we identify the right configuration for your work.
Based on your requirements, we configure your Edge kit with the right mounting, motor, control, and accessory options. Everything is prepped for your workflow and assembled in-house for fast delivery.
Your system ships in just a few weeks. We offer remote and on-site training as needed, plus lifetime support to keep you balancing with confidence.
Tell us about your engine work and your mill, and we will spec the Edge kit or the Edge DBS standalone for your shop.
