wheel balancer

OPTIMA

The OPTIMA wheel balancer utilizes 3 laser measurement units with CCD cameras that are integrated into the balancer. Since the surface of the rims in the market does vary from dark, dirty, black to shining chrome with a laser device only there would be problems in scanning several wheels. Combining the laser technology with CCD technology known from the aligners does solve this issue. The scanner components of the OPTIMA wheel balancer perform a variety of geometric measurements of the complete wheel assembly, the rim and the tire during shaft rotation. These measurements are interpreted by the wheel balancer’s on-board embedded PC to provide the features described in the previous slides and perform geometric matching to improve the wheel running conditions.
