Features That Make Expert Balancing Easier & Faster...

HammerHead™ TDC Clip-On Weight Locator Laser
The ServoDrive activated laser lines automatically identify the “Top-Dead-Center” position to assist with fast clip-on weight placement. The system helps to increase balance accuracy, productivity and shop profitability. The HammerHead™ feature ensures weight attachment accuracy resulting in more singlespin balances and superior ride satisfaction. The fluorescent light also illuminates the operator’s work area.

Ordering Information
HammerHead feature can be added as an option by ordering part number 20-2166-1 from your authorized Hunter agent.

The ServoDrive activated laser lines are projected onto the rim flange when the wheel weight position is located.

Clip-Weight Placement

Precision wheel placement is fast &
easy using the TDC laser as a guide

HammerHead TDC Laser reduces weight placement errors by eliminating misjudgment of the TDC position, which often occurs using other methods. Such visual errors lead to an inferior and time-consuming balance with numerous checkspins.

SmartSpoke™ Locator Feature
Derived from SmartWeight® balancing, the SmartSpoke™ weight locator feature enables the technician to achieve the best possible balance by placing only a single adhesive weight behind one wheel spoke instead of two weights behind two spokes. This feature reduces weight use, minimizes labor time and speeds the balance procedure.

The SmartSpoke balancing feature resulted in less weight used and reduced service time.
Without the SmartSpoke feature more weight and time is used.

Automatic Weight Mode Detection**
Balance mode is selected automatically based on the position chosen for the Inner Dataset® arm or Outer Dataset® arm.

This feature eliminates the need for the technician to select balance mode, reducing time-consuming key closures and possible mode entry errors. No need for multiple balance mode choices or PAX wheel system programs.

When the technician places the Inner Dataset® arm up on the wheel rim, the balancer automatically selects the "Clip Weight Mode."

When the technician places the Inner Dataset® arm down inside the wheel, the balancer automatically selects the "Tape Weight Mode."

AutoClamp* Feature
The optional AutoClamp feature saves time and effort. The clamp adaptor is positioned and tightened automatically. There are no time-consuming shaft threads to take up and no additional wing nut tightening required. (Pneumatic AutoClamp option must be ordered with the machine and cannot be added as an upgrade to existing units in the field. Order VAS6230A and VAS6230A/3.)

Rim Scan Feature
The Inner Dataset® arm will trace the exact wheel contour and stores the scanned distances and diameters across the entire available tape weight locations selected by the operator. Also offers the benefits of Automatic Weight Positioning to increase the capability to single spin balance with SmartWeight technology.

Servo Stop und Servo Push Drive Control*
Servo Stop automatically rotates and positions wheel to each desired weight location (TDC or BDC) with the touch of a button or by simply pushing the wheel.

BDC Adhesive Weight Placement Laser

• ServoDrive activated laser line automatically identifies the “Bottom-Dead-Center” position to assist with fast adhesive weight application.
• Helps guide operator to optimal location for correct weight placement for accurate phase angle.

Split Spoke® & Split Weight® Modus*

• Split Spoke® mode automatically locates the best “out of sight” position for adhesive weight placement on custom wheels.
• Split Weight® mode offers multiple weight choices, reduces inventory of large weights and avoids trim ring obstructions

Automatic Double Dataset® Arms
Inner and Outer Dataset® arms speed entry of exact chosen weight location and double as measuring tools for lateral and radial runout. Speeds placement of clip-on or adhesive weights while increasing accuracy and single-spin balances.

Instant Foot Pedal Data Entry
Tapping the foot brake activates entry and storage of wheel data.

Foot pedal also locks spindle for easier tightening and loosening of wing nut.

Wheel CenteringCheck® Feature*
This feature, exclusive to Hunter wheel balancers, ensures that the wheel is properly centered when mounted on the balancer. Uniquely eliminates guesswork when choosing mounting accessories or questioning set-up error on problematic wheels.
