Lower the wheel guard to run a
spin and check correct balancing.
At the end of this spin, final data
will be displayed.
If you have to balance an identical wheel, it is possible to skip the data acquisition of the balancing planes and perform immediately
with the balancing spin and then with the search for balancing planes. The balancing planes used for the calculation will be the
same as stored before by the machine.
NOTE: if the machine has been set to display the Static imbalance, the single weight will always be applied at 6 o’clock on each point
of the rim plane. Accordingly, the guided Search phase of the balancing planes is not carried out.
17. HIDDEN WEIGHTS PROGRAM
This program divides the external weight “W” in two weights “W1” and “W2” (smaller than the initial external weight W) located in
any two positions selected by the operator.
The two weights “W1” and “W2” must form a maximum angle of 120° including the external weight W, as shown in figure F17.1.
Figure F17.1: Hidden Weights Program: valid and invalid conditions for use. In this example the external balancing weight “W” is
marked at 12 o’clock (H12) but it can also be at 6 o’clock (H6) or at 3 o’clock (H3): see text
The Hidden Weights Program is used for aluminum rims when:
•
You want to hide the external weight behind two spokes for aesthetic reasons;
•
The position of the external weights coincides with a spoke therefore a single weight cannot be applied.
NOTE: This program can be used with any Program Type and with any Wheel Type. It can also be used to divide the static weight into
two separate weights (especially useful with wheels for motorbikes).
NOT VALID!
The angle between
weights W1 and W2 is ≥
120°.
NOT VALID!
External imbalance W is not
within W1 and W2.
VALID
The angle between weights W1
and W2 is < 120° and includes
initial external weight W.
