5.6 - STATISTICS<br />

DAILY N° OF SPINS:<br />

This indicates the number of spins made after switching<br />

on of the machine. Such parameter is reset automatically<br />

when the machine is switched off.<br />

TOTAL N° OF SPINS:<br />

This indicates the number of spins made since the last<br />

resetting of such counter. This parameter remains<br />

memorized when the machine is switched off.<br />

The following buttons are enabled:<br />

: for resetting the daily number of spins.<br />

: for resetting the total number of spins.<br />

5.7 - ECCENTRICITY MEASUREMENT (OPTIONAL)<br />

The much enlarged figures show the outer tyre<br />

surface and axis of wheel rotation.<br />

Fig. A shows measurement of the total Peak-to-Peak<br />

eccentricity defined as maximum radial deviation of the<br />

tyre surface.<br />

Fig. B<br />

E1h<br />

Fig. B shows measurement of the eccentricity of the 1st<br />

harmonic, i.e. the eccentricity of that circle which<br />

"recopies" the tyre shape, by averaging the local deviations<br />

of the tyre from the round shape.<br />

Obviously the P.P. measurement is normally greater than<br />

that of the 1st harmonic. Tyre manufacturers normally supply two different tolerances for the two eccentricities.<br />

At the end of the balancing spin it is possible to automatically measure the eccentricity of the tyre through the<br />

SONAR sensor installed on the guard. The sensor should be positioned by hand in front of the tyre tread.<br />

GRAPH 1 - (yellow)<br />

GRAPH 2 - (red)<br />

For 1st harmonic, the<br />

maximum deviation<br />

usually should not<br />

exceed 1,2 mm. In the<br />

latest software the<br />

sysmbol above button<br />

no. 4 changes to red<br />

as soon as this value is<br />

too high.<br />

GRAPH 1:<br />

GRAPH 2:<br />

represents the actual Peal-to-Peak eccentricity.<br />

represents the eccentricity of the 1st harmonic. For a wheel to be in optimum conditions, such graph<br />

should approach a straight line.<br />

When the wheel is moved, the cursor on the screen indicates the current value with the phase referred to the<br />

correction point.
