Operation
Application.
The balancer is designed to balance and analyze the
wheels of cars, SUVs, vans and motorbikes, whose
parameters are within the limits indicated in the
machine’s technical specifications.
This is a measuring device. Handle with care.
The wheel data detection is carried out automatically
and with no contact by 5 Cameras (
10,
fig. 1-4
). The
balancer calculates the co-ordinates of the optimal
positions for the application of balancing counter-
weights.
The balancer can be used to determine geometric
information relative to rim and/or of the tire deformations
(radial and/or lateral deviations relative to the axis
of rotation, commonly referred to as
runout
). This
information is useful for a diagnosis of the wheel
behavior as well as providing the operator with
useful indications to minimize the effects of these
deformations.
The balancer is able to automatically determine the
unbalance of the rim or of the wheel in respect of its
rotation centre. At the end of the measuring run the
control software carries out a matching, that consists
in corresponding the top part of the tire with the bottom
part of the rim. The balancer analyses the overall state
of the wheel and prompts any possible corrections.
The balancer carries out two types of
runout
:
1)
radial (on the radius);
2)
lateral (on the lateral shift).
The balancer also has the TDI (
Tread Depth Indication
)
system, which provides a general indication of tread
wear. This function is only active from BALANCE WITH
RUONOUT mode.
The balancer can operate in four distinct modes, which
can be selected by Operator. Two basic modes:
- MANUAL & BALANCE -
and two advanced modes
- BALANCE WITH RUONOUT & FULL DIAGNOSTIC.
