To return to dynamic imbalance display, press [F+P2] . The LED next to the button will turn off.
19.3 Electromagnetic clamping brake
The electromagnetic clamping brake is useful to block the wheel in any position defined by the user and to simplify some
operations such as the application or removal of balancing weights.
If present, the electromagnetic clamping brake is also used in the automatic or manual stopping of the wheel on imbalance
positions described in chapter 19.5 SWI Wheel stop procedure on the positions of imbalance.
To activate the electromagnetic clamping brake, press [P9] . To deactivate the electromagnetic clamping brake, press
[P9] again.
The electromagnetic clamping brake is deactivated automatically in the following cases:

Every time a balancing spin is run;

Every time a SWI procedure is performed (stop of the wheel on the imbalance position) at low speed;

After one minute of continuous activation (to avoid overheating of the brake itself).
The electromagnetic clamping brake can be used manually only in NORMAL mode. It cannot be used in the SERVICE mode.
19.4 SWI wheel stop procedure on the positions of imbalance
Machines equipped with the electromagnetic clamping brake are capable of automatically stopping the wheel at the first
imbalance angular position that is reached during rotation. This allows the operator to have the wheel in position ready for the
application of the balancing weight thus increasing work and productivity speeds.
The procedure is referred to with the short English acronym SWI (Stop the Wheel on Imbalance). Within this manual, this acronym
will be used to refer to the wheel stop procedure on the positions of imbalance.
The SWI procedure has three different operating modes indicated in table T19.2.
Table T19.2: Types of SWI procedures available
SWI mode When it is or when it can be run Who can run the
SWI procedure Notes
Automatic At the end of every spin. Machine This is performed only if there is at least
one imbalance value on the wheel.
Otherwise, conventional braking will occur.
Low speed At the end of the spin, when the
wheel is stationary and the wheel
guard is raised. Operator The procedure is started up by pressing
[P9] Start : the wheel starts
up at low speed until it reaches the first
imbalance angular position.
Manual At the end of the spin by manually
rotating the wheel with wheel Operator At each passage of the wheel in an angular
position of imbalance, the electromagnetic
