Based on the selected Program Type, will be displayed the

17.4 Use of the special program types for ALS1 aluminum wheels
The machine has two special Program Types for aluminum wheels called ALS1.
These two programs are different from standard Program Type for aluminum wheels (ALU1 up to ALU5) because the user is allowed
to select the position where to apply the weights. This allows balancing aluminum wheels having particular shapes, difficult to
perform with standard program where the weight are applied in precise positions. The difference between ALS1 and ALS2 program
is that in ALS1 Program Type the user could select freely the outer balancing positions (inner position) instead in ALS2 Program Type
the user could select freely both of balancing positions.
The ALS1 or ALS2 program types use only the Distance/Diameter sensor to acquire and search for the balancing planes chosen by the
user. The width sensor is not used.
The use of the ALS1 program types is divided into three parts:
•
Guided acquisition of balancing planes (See paragraph 17.3.2);
•
Balancing spin;
•
Search of the balancing planes for weight application.
17.4.1 Balancing spin
To launch balancing, proceed as described below:
Phase
Description
010
Lower the wheel guard to run the balancing launch. Once the spin
cycle is completed, the imbalance values calculated, according to
the balancing planes chosen, will be displayed.

In addition, the machine automatically sets ALS1 mode and
searches for balancing planes. In ALS 1 mode the weight must be
applied at 12 o’clock (see pic. 1).
