Abstract:
A method for dynamically balancing an unbalanced article about a rotary axis. The method includes determining a mass and a position of a corrective weight, the mass and position of the corrective weight being configured to at least partly correct an imbalance in the unbalanced article that is generated when the unbalanced article is rotated about the rotary axis; and spraying an atomized liquid or molten material toward a surface of the unbalanced article to form the corrective weight.
