Wheel weights machine operating method

06 Nov 2018

Operating method 

Individual wheels are fed into the measuring station, and centered along the outer diameter. The

wheel is then lowered onto the balancing unit and clamped.

A measurement run is performed to determine the magnitude and angular position of unbalance,

following which the wheel is indexed and correction locations are marked.

The wheel is then unclamped, lif- ted and unloaded from the balancing machine for unbalance correction.

Depending on the method of unbalance correction, knock on, clip on or adhesive weights are

applied manually or automatically in the correction station or stations. For application of weights in the lower correction plane, the wheel is turned.

The balanced wheel is then unloaded from the machine and transferred to the subsequent conveyor systems.
