    טלגראס הינו שירות online המאפשר למטופלים בעלי רישיון לקנאביס רפואי לרכוש את התרופה שלהם comodamente ובדיסקרטיות. באשדוד, עיר המתאפיינת במגוון תרבותי ricco ובתנופת sviluppo continuo, השירות מציע פתרון ייחודי המשתלב היטב עם אורח החיים העירוני הדינמי והמגוון.

    Adattamento a una varietà di culture :
    אשדוד היא עיר רב-תרבותית, המונה אוכלוסייה מגוונת הכוללת יהודים ספרדים, אתיופים, אזרחים ותיקים וחברים חדשים. שירות הטלגראס מציע פתרון גמיש המתאים לצרכים המגוונים של תושבי העיר.

    Preferenza tra gli anziani : מעל 60% מהמשתמשים הם בני 50 ומעלה, מה שמשקף את הצורך הגובר בטיפולים למניעת כאבים ומחלות קשות בגיל המבוגר.
    עלייה בשיתופי פעולה עם קופות חולים : מספר קופות חולים מקומיות החלו להציע שירותים משלימים המבוססים על טלגראס, מה שמעניק לגיטימציה רבה יותר לשימוש באמצעים אלו.

  • Equilibrio in situ
    El Balanceo de Componentes: Elemento Clave para un Desempeño Óptimo

    ¿ En algún momento te has dado cuenta de movimientos irregulares en una máquina? ¿O tal vez escuchaste ruidos anómalos? Muchas veces, el problema está en algo tan básico como un desequilibrio en alguna pieza rotativa . Y créeme, ignorarlo puede costarte más de lo que imaginas.

    El equilibrado de piezas es un paso esencial en la construcción y conservación de maquinaria agrícola, ejes, volantes y elementos de motores eléctricos. Su objetivo es claro: evitar vibraciones innecesarias que pueden causar daños serios a largo plazo .

    ¿Por qué es tan importante equilibrar las piezas?
    Imagina que tu coche tiene una rueda desequilibrada . Al acelerar, empiezan las sacudidas, el timón vibra y resulta incómodo circular así. En maquinaria industrial ocurre algo similar, pero con consecuencias aún peores :

    Aumento del desgaste en cojinetes y rodamientos
    Sobrecalentamiento de componentes
    Riesgo de fallos mecánicos repentinos
    Paradas imprevistas que exigen arreglos costosos
    En resumen: si no se corrige a tiempo, una mínima falla podría derivar en una situación compleja.

    Métodos de equilibrado: cuál elegir
    No todos los casos son iguales. Dependiendo del tipo de pieza y su uso, se aplican distintas técnicas:

    Equilibrado dinámico
    Ideal para piezas que giran a alta velocidad, como rotores o ejes . Se realiza en máquinas especializadas que detectan el desequilibrio en múltiples superficies . Es el método más preciso para garantizar un funcionamiento suave .
    Equilibrado estático
    Se usa principalmente en piezas como llantas, platos o poleas . Aquí solo se corrige el peso excesivo en una sola superficie . Es ágil, práctico y efectivo para determinados sistemas.
    Corrección del desequilibrio: cómo se hace
    Taladrado selectivo: se perfora la región con exceso de masa
    Colocación de contrapesos: como en ruedas o anillos de volantes
    Ajuste de masas: habitual en ejes de motor y partes relevantes
    Equipos profesionales para detectar y corregir vibraciones
    Para hacer un diagnóstico certero, necesitas herramientas precisas. Hoy en día hay opciones disponibles y altamente productivas, por ejemplo :

    ✅ Balanset-1A — Tu aliado portátil para equilibrar y analizar vibraciones
