Pro-Match/
Weight minimisation
12. Pro-Match/
Weight minimisation
12.1 General
Pro-Match, the optimisation program, is an improvement of the
matching procedure.
Tire and rim are adjusted to each other on the basis of unbal-
ance test results. This produces reduction of lateral and radial
run-out and of radial and lateral force variation, as well as re-
duction of balance weight size.
If Pro-Match is not desired, it is possible to achieve weight mini-
misation.
This is possible when there is no deformation of the rim, but
where unsmooth ride is only due to non-uniform mass distribu-
tion in the tire. In this case the unbalance present in the rim can
be adjusted relative to the unbalance present in the tire so that
the unbalances compensate for each other and the smallest
possible balance weight can be determined.
12.2 General instructions for the Pro-Match/
weight minimisation programs
It may be necessary to interrupt the Pro-Match/minimisation
program by pressing the STOP key. The electronic unit will
store the current program step, the rim dimensions and all
measurements taken so far.
To continue with the Pro-Match/minimisation program, press
the OP and CODE keys in succession. The program then con-
tinues at the step where it was interrupted, using the initial data
inputs and measured data.
If a measuring run is interrupted by operation of the STOP key
the machine will switch back to the previous program step. Pro-
Match/minimisation is then continued by entering the valve
position of the wheel with the PRO MATCH key.
After interruption by operation of the STOP key the readings
refer to the unbalance of the latest measuring run.
To start the Pro-Match/minimisation program anew after an in-
terruption, it is only necessary to press the PRO MATCH key.
During Pro-Match/minimisation a measuring run always has to
be started with the START key.
