TIRE-CHANGING MACHINE FOR MOTOR VEHICLES
A tire-changing machine for motor vehicles, comprising a bearing frame, at least a tire-changing device associated with the frame, having at least a support element of a wheel that can be driven in rotation around a first axis substantially vertical and at least a tool movable with respect to the support element to allow the removal of the tire from the wheel, a wheel balancing device associated with the frame, and where balancing device comprises at least a base element associated with the frame and at least a shaft supported in rotation by the base element around a second axis substantially horizontal and able to receive the wheel to be balanced.
Tire Deflation System and Method For Automotive Service Equipment
A vehicle wheel service system with a control system and air pathway coupling an inflated tire to an air discharge into a low pressure volume for accelerated deflation of the tire, and for reducing tire inflation pressure below atmospheric pressure during a tire demount procedure.
TYRE INFLATING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A TYRE INFLATING PROCESS
A tyre inflating device (100) includes an air feed line (200), an inflating module (300), including a primary valve (301) movable between a closed position and an open position for closing and opening the feed line (200) and an auxiliary safety module (700), including a secondary valve (500), movable between a closed position and an open position for closing and opening the feed line (200); a pressure sensor (600), configured to detect a pressure value downstream of the inflating module (300) and a control unit (800) programmed to control the secondary valve (500) as a function of the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor (600).
System to dynamically change end of arm tooling for tire assembly
A weight apply system capable of changing tooling to apply weights to an assembly to correct unbalance. It may include a selectively movable arm, at least one weight apply tool, the ability to change the tooling based on assembly type, and a controller configured to manage the selection of the tool, loading the weight, and application of the weight to the assembly in station.
