At Turbo Diesel Services, we use the latest technology and turbocharger equipment to ensure the best possible service for our customers.

Turbo Technics VSR 500 & VSR 420 Series

The Vibration Sorting Rig (VSR™) was initially introduced in 1984 as a solution to address the issue of high-speed vibration in turbochargers installed in passenger cars. Its purpose was to accurately measure and analyze vibrations occurring within the entire rotating assembly, replicating the speed conditions experienced by the turbocharger in the vehicle. Specifically designed for high-volume Original Equipment (OE) and Aftermarket Production, the VSR 500™ series offers a range of features tailored to meet the requirements of turbo production on a larger scale. In addition to the VSR 500™ model, three distinct variations are available to cater to the diverse needs of turbo production.

Turbo Technics

VSR 500 Series

  • Speed capability up to 150,000 rev/min
  • In-line core loading suitable for large and heavy cores
  • Rotor lock that stops the shaft from turning during balance corrections, either using the integral grinder or ‘turning’ the compressor wheel
  • Automatic door - automatically opens when the test is complete
  • Automatic test cycle - the test starts when the door is closed, the door automatically opens when the test is complete
  • Oil mist extraction - which uses a vacuum to extract oil mist created by the higher volume of tests the VSR 5 is capable of

Turbo Technics

VSR 420 Series

  • Speed capability up to 300,000 rev/min
  • Second cutter - for 2-plane balance correction, used by OE turbo manufactures to allow balance correction to be made on the impeller as well as the nose nut. This enables the CHRA to be balanced to very tight tolerances. The second cutter is operated by the foot pedal and activates a rotor lock that stops the shaft from turning during balance corrections
  • Automatic test cycle – the test starts when the door is closed, the door automatically opens when the test is complete
  • Oil mist extraction - which uses a vacuum to extract oil mist created by the higher volume of tests the VSR4 is capable of
  • Automatic length set – a sliding base automatically moves the speed sensor to the correct position, a special cutter is mounted to the base. This hand operated cutter replaces the handheld grinder and allows for very precise cuts to be made to the nose nut that give the appearance of an OE turbocharger

Redat TurboMax-10

Redat's TurboMax-10 was developed with two primary objectives in mind: precision and versatility as a balancing machine, and a high level of automation for user convenience. The machine utilizes a simplified model for evaluating the dynamic balancing of the rotor, enabling quick assessments within seconds. Notably, the TurboMax-10 excels in its automated placement of the rotor at the precise measured unbalanced angle, eliminating errors that may occur with manual positioning.

One of the standout features of the TurboMax-10 is its integrated computer system, equipped with specialized software that efficiently processes rotor data. This computer interface not only handles data entry, balancing operations, and result analysis but also provides step-by-step guidance to the operator throughout the entire process. By minimizing operator intervention during setup and launch preparations, the TurboMax-10 enhances both safety and ease of use.

Overall, the TurboMax-10 plays a fundamental role in modern turbocharger revision workshops and serves as an invaluable tool for upholding the quality standards of production facilities. Its combination of precision, versatility, automation, and user-friendly features makes it an ideal choice for those seeking reliable and efficient balancing solutions.
