Aston Magnetic Levitation Wheel Balancer AWB-139ML User’s Manual
balancing.
STEP 3: Search weight as per the procedures described in the section of standard dynamic
balancing.
STEP 4: Apply balancing weights as per the selected ALU program illustrated.
STEP 5: Proceed a test spin to check the balancing correction result
⚫
Laser pointer for
ALU-1
For the models with laser pointer, ALU-1 program will relocate the
weight form top position (12 o’clock) to bottom position (6
o’clock). As the weight point reaches to the correction angular
position, the laser light will project on the wheel, where indicates
the correction weight to be stick on.
******************************************************************************
Some slight residual unbalances may remain at the end of the test spin due to the considerable
difference in shape that may be found on rims with same rated dimensions. Therefore, if the
standard ALU programs are not giving a satisfied balancing result, choose the variable plane
program ALU-S to have correct balancing.
******************************************************************************
1.6.3 ALU-S Program (VARIABLE PLANE PROGRAM)
This program makes it possible to apply adhesive weights in
user selected positions. It is used for maximum precision
balancing of light alloy rims that require both weights for inner
and outer planes to be applied on the inside surface of the rim.
Press ALU keys enter the programs until the light over the mark " ALU-S" illuminates, as illustrated,
3 lights on the balancing mode indicator are illuminated.
⚫
WHEEL GEOMETRIC DATA ACQUISITION
Geometric data relating to the actual balancing planes rather than the rated wheel data (A, W and D
as in standard dynamic and standard ALU programs) must be entered. The balancing planes where
the adhesive weights are to be applied may be selected by user according to the specific shape of
the rim.
