How are imbalances in wheels balanced out—and what role do our balancing stands play in this process?
As soon as our wheel balancing machines detect an imbalance in a wheel, it must be balanced out precisely. To do this, Hofmann uses various manual and fully automatic correction stations, depending on the requirements.
Manual balancing
Our manual correction stations are integrated directly into the wheel balancing machine.
- The machine detects the imbalance positions and rotates the balancing position into the working position for the operator.
- A screen and the weight box show which weight to use.
- Adhesive weights, impact weights, or 2-piece safety weights can be used.
Fully automatic balancing with handling robot
Our fully automatic robot balancing stations are even more efficient:
- They can be integrated directly into the wheel balancing machine or used as a stand-alone station.
- The handling robot applies the weights fully automatically with defined and monitored contact pressure.
- This allows both adhesive weights and 2-piece safety weights to be applied precisely and reproducibly.
The result: Precise positioning of the balancing weights and thus extremely low residual imbalance – for the highest quality in wheel production.
