AUTOMATIC WHEEL BALANCER 3D WITH LCD SCREEN
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.
During the automatic wheel stop procedure, the machine will measure rotational speed during braking at completion of the launch
and, when this reaches a predetermined value, it will release the brake allowing the wheel to spin freely by inertia. When the
speed is low enough, the machine will wait until the wheel passes through one of the angular positions of imbalance, therefore, it
will enable the electromagnetic clamping brake.
Note: for operator safety purposes, the wheel stop procedure will not be run when the MOTO Wheel Type is enabled.
In the low speed wheel stop procedure, the wheel has already run the launch and is stationary. If the operator presses [8] key Start
with the wheel guard raised, the machine will apply slight acceleration to the wheel and then let it spin by inertia. When the speed is
low enough, the machine will wait until the wheel passes through one of the angular positions of imbalance, therefore, it will enable
the electromagnetic clamping brake.
Note: for operator safety purposes, the wheel stop procedure will not be run when the MOTO Wheel Type is enabled.
In this mode, the wheel stop procedure is activated by manual rotation of the wheel if the wheel guard is raised. When the wheel
passes through an angular position of imbalance, the machine will enable the electromagnetic clamping brake.
Angular positioning accuracy depends on many factors. Among the most important, they are: wheel dimensions and weight,
adjustment of the electromagnetic brake, temperature, belt tension. In all cases, consider the following:
• If the electromagnetic clamping brake is disabled, the wheel stop procedure will not be run in any of three modes;
• If rotation speed decreases abruptly due to wheel inertia during the automatic wheel stop procedure or the low speed wheel stop
(e.g. due to excessive friction with rotating mechanical parts) the machine applies a little extra acceleration to the wheel itself in order
to reach the first angular position of imbalance. If, despite this, the wheel does not reach this position, the wheel stop procedure is
aborted after 5 seconds and the machine displays the error code ERR 042;
• When you use the manual wheel stop procedure, balancing precision will also depend on the speed with which the operator
rotates the wheel: excessively high or low speeds reduce accuracy.

Notes
Automatic
At the end of every launch.
Machine
This is performed only if there is at
least one imbalance value on the
wheel. Otherwise, conventional bra-
king will occur.
Low speed
At the end of the launch, when the
wheel is stationary and the wheel
guard is raised.
Operator
Procedure started by pressing [8] key
Start: the wheel starts spinning at low
speed until the first angular position of
imbalance is reached.
Manual
At the end of the launch by manually
rotating the wheel with wheel guard
raised.
Operator
At each passage of the wheel in an
angular position of imbalance, the
electromagnetic clamping brake will
be enabled for 30 seconds.
