5. Balancing Features and Options
5.1 SmartWeight™ Balancing Technology
SmartWeight™ balancing technology revolutionizes the wheel balancing/vibration
correction process. SmartWeight computes balancing correction weights in an effort
to eliminate the static forces (up and down shake) and reduce couple forces (side to
side shimmy) that are present in the tire and wheel assembly.
Standard balancing procedures attempt to eliminate these forces, often using
excessive amounts of corrective weight. SmartWeight reduces these forces which
result in less corrective weight used and improving the vibration identification and
correction process. Instead of results reading “0” the display reads “OK.”
Not only does SmartWeight give the customer a better riding vehicle, it also helps the
environment by using less corrective weight, and speeds up the wheel balance
process which saves the shop time and money.
SmartWeight does not require any specific procedures to be performed. As long as
SmartWeight has been selected it becomes an automatic process. Follow the normal
balancing procedure and SmartWeight will compute the forces and the corrective
weight.
Static and non-rounding modes are eliminated to simplify and eliminate operation.
Always enter two weight positions during wheel measurement. All other functions are
identical to the traditional balancing method.
SmartWeight will also compute the amount of weight saved over time. A histogram of
weight savings statistics can be viewed from the “wake-up” screen.
