16. MACHINE CALIBRATION
To function properly, the machine must be calibrated. Calibration allows storing the mechanical and electrical parameters specific to
each machine so as to provide the best balancing results.
16.1 When to carry out machine calibration
Table T16.1 lists the cases in which machine calibration should be carried out.
Table T16.1: Conditions for carrying out machine calibration
Condition
Status
Who must perform it
When the machine is installed at the final user.
Mandatory
Technical Service
When the electronic circuit board is replaced.
Mandatory
Technical Service
When a mechanical part linked to the pick-up signals (pick-up, pick-up compression
springs, suspension unit + shaft) is replaced.
Mandatory
Technical Service
When the pick-up compression springs adjustment are modified.

Technical Service
When the encoder disc is replaced.
Mandatory
Technical Service
When a different motorbike adaptor is used since the last calibration for MOTO
Wheel Type.
Mandatory
Final user and/or
Technical Service
When the machine doesn’t show accurate results for balancing.
Recommended
Final user and/or
Technical Service
When there are wide and constant variations due to environmental humidity and
temperature (for example seasonal changes).

Final user and/or
Technical Service
The machine requires two independent calibrations:
•
Calibration for the CAR/SUV Wheel Type (calibration is the same for both types of wheel);
•
Calibration for the MOTO Wheel Type (wheels for motorbike).
It is not mandatory to perform both calibrations. If the user exclusively uses the machine to balance auto-vehicle/off-road wheels
(CAR/SUV) he must perform only calibration for the CAR/SUV wheel type. If the user instead uses the machine to balance all wheel
types, he must perform both calibration.
16.2 Machine calibration for the CAR/SUV Wheel Type
The calibration for the CAR wheel type and SUV wheel type is the same.
To perform machine calibration, you must first provide for the following material:
•
A balanced wheel with steel rim that has the following dimensions: 14” ÷ 16” diameter. 5” ÷ 5.5” width.
Do not use wheels with aluminum rims
.
•
A 50 grams weight (preferably in Iron or Zinc).
To calibrate the machine, proceed as described below:
