[How to apply](https://www.hofmannmaschinen.com/en/career/how-to-apply/) - [News ](https://www.hofmannmaschinen.com/en/hofmann-news/) The automatic **bead seat optimizers** from Hofmann pass lateral and/or radial forces into the tire side wall to optimize the seat of the tire bead on the rim. The imbalance and tire uniformity measured values can only be determined accurately with a seated tire bead. Depending on the design, protection is provided due to the noise generated by the wheels under load. The **tire bead seater for balancing beads** is typically a part of the automatic [wheel assembly line](https://www.hofmannmaschinen.com/en/business-segments/wheel-assembly-lines/). Our variants of the bead seat optimizer --------------------------------------- ### RSO-SR bead seat optimizer with two laterally arranged rollers, opposite to each other ### RSO-LW bead seat optimizer with a radially arranged load wheel, on swivel bearing The bead seat optimizer type RSO-LW can be delivered optionally as a twin station machine to shorten the cycle time.
