- Return the measuring arm to the rest position (Fig. 15e).
- Repeat the operations to apply the second balancing weight.
- Perform a test wheel spin to check the balancing accuracy.
The rim surface must be perfectly clean to make the weight stick efficiently to the rim. If
necessary, clean the surface using suitable cleansing products.
NOTE: On the wheel balancers for the German market, the weight must be applied as
follows: apply the weight manually by positioning it so that its centre line is 15mm back
from the contact point of the measuring head with the rim.
a
In the machine versions without a weight-holding device proceed as follows:
- Select the plane where the first balancing weight is to be applied.
- Turn the wheel until the central element of the corresponding position indicator lights up.
- Apply the adhesive weight manually in the position in which the relative plane was
measured, using the weight center of mass as a reference.
The target is shown on the monitor (red arrow) and indicates the correct application
position of the adhesive weights as shown in figure 24.
(available on with ALU P programmes)
This function is automatically enabled when an ALU P programme is selected.
It modifies the former selected positions for the application of adhesive balancing weights,
in order to allow perfect wheel balancing using commercially available adhesive weights
in multiples of five grams. The accuracy of the machine is thereby improved, avoiding
rounding-off or cutting the weights to be applied to come closer to the actual unbalance
values.
The modified positions, where the adhesive weights are to be applied, are identified
by the user according to the information given by the wheel balancer (see the Balancing
weight application section).
