One Plane Balancing

Where innovation meets simplicity

Enables to eliminate both static and dynamic unbalance with a single counterweight, indicating the exact position to apply the weight inside the rim.

It is a known factor that the static unbalance is the major cause of vibrations perceived by drivers. Many wheel balancers are capable of indicating the pure static unbalance value, however they never indicate the exact position to apply the counterweight so it has become a habit to place it in any axial position inside the rim.
This approximation can influence and increase the value of the dynamic unbalance.

One Plane Balancing overcomes these setbacks by obtaining a substantial reduction of the static unbalance and, at the same time, minimize the dynamic unbalance: with the aid of Spotter technology, OPB determines the axial position of the static correction plane, indicating it with a laser spot, so that the residual unbalance value referred to the external planes of wheel is the minimum possible, thereby guaranteeing substantial reduction of the vibrations of the vehicle.
When residual unbalance value detected is below the tolerance referred to the external planes, an indicator flashes on the panel to inform operator it is possible to perform the balancing with a single counterweight.
