DESCRIPTION CM 1200 BB
The CM 1200 BB is a universal electro-pneumatic
tyre changer that works on integral wheels with
drop centre featuring weights and dimensions as
described in the technical data section.
It is designed to work effectively on:
- conventional wheels;
- reverse rim wheels or wheels without central
hole - (use optional kit);
- run-flat tyres with reinforced sides*.
*
WARNING : there are specifically studied pro-
cedures for these types of wheels.
NB: It may be difficult and sometimes impossible to clamp
and/or disassemble wheels of vintage cars (cars out of pro -
duction for over 30 years), some types of rally wheels and
non-standardised street wheels.
The machine is solidly constructed. It operates
with the wheel in a horizontal position for both
bead breaking and demounting/mounting
operations.
All machine movements are controlled by the
operator by means of a pedal in a pedal board
and manual controls on the console.
The CM 1200 BB can be used to easily break,
disassemble and assemble any type of the
above tyres.
In any stage, the CM 1200 BB operates with a
clamped and perfectly centred horizontal wheel
on the turntable.
Wheel loading and unloading operations are
simplified by an ergonomic lifter (optional kit)
which reduces the operator effort required.
Its absolutely innovative operating principle
comprises:
- a wheel positioning system that makes use of
the wheel inner side and the machine axial
mounting turntable as references (an optional
reverse rim kit is supplied for rims with drop
centres on the inner side);
- an efficient manual wheel clamping system,
which makes use of the rim central hole by
means of a handle and cones (an optional
clamping kit is supplied for rims with no central
hole);
- a pneumatic bead breaking unit consisting
of two bead breaker disc holders. Its vertical
pneumatic movement is independent and
activated from the console; the disc horizontal
positioning is manual, mechanically activated
from the console and it allows the simultaneous
positioning of the bead breaker discs. Bead
breaking is ensured by the disc movement,
with a controlled penetration commanded by
a dead-man's switch;
- a head positioned on a mobile column with rear
opening. It consists of a fixed load-bearing core
that allows the mounting phase with the use of
the bead lifter lever;
- a pedal-controlled pneumatic wheel lift which
allows you to load and unload the wheel to and
from the working position.
With the CM 1200 BB the following objectives
have also been reached:
- minimised physical effort on the part of the
operator;
- no risk of damage to rim and tyre.
