54 BALANCING PROCEDURES
Quick-Thread® will not operate under the following
conditions:
• If the balancer is in “Diagnostics,” “Setup,” or
“Calibration.”
• If either Dataset® arm is out of its “home position”
while in the “Balance” screen.
Auto-Clamping™ Wheel Clamping (Optional)
Auto-Clamp is an optional spindle equipped with a
pneumatic clamping device that eliminates the spin on
type wingnut.
3.19 Quick-Thread® Wheel Clamping
Quick-Thread® is an “intelligent” DC drive motor control
feature that allows motor assisted threading for fast
installation and removal of the SmartWeight Touch®/
GSP9200 Touch wing nut.
Keep clear of clamping components during
Quick-Thread shaft rotation.
Lift the wheel assembly onto the shaft as normal without
threading on the wing nut.
With the left hand, hold the rim over the cone to remove
the weight of the rim from the spindle and to allow
maximum quick-thread wing nut travel.
Place the wing nut on the spindle and rotate one full turn
onto the spindle threads.
With the right hand, hold one handle of the wing nut while
lifting the rim.
Heavier wheel assemblies may require extra
lifting to prevent the software limited motor
torque control from stopping the rotation of the
spindle.
Tap the foot pedal twice and the spindle will rotate to
install the wing nut to save threading time.
The direction of spindle rotation toggles each time it is
used. For normal operation, spindle rotation will begin
in the correct direction for wing nut installation. A single
tap within the first three seconds of rotation will reverse
the direction of rotation. A single tap after the first three
seconds of rotation will stop rotation.
Quick-Thread® spindle rotation will stop when the
clamping components contact the wheel, or when the
foot brake is applied for more than half of a second.
Quick-Thread® does not tighten the wing nut!
In Quick-Thread® rotation, torque allowed is
minimal. Therefore, the wing nut must still be
hand-tightened before balancing.
Because of the software limited torque control,
you must loosen the wing nut before Quick-
Thread® will remove it.
