Snap-on fully automatic diagnostic balancing machine detects minute imbalance
Balancing modern wheels requires sophisticated equipment that accurately detects the very smallest deviations. The Snap-on EEWB336AEA fully automatic diagnostic balancing machine goes beyond conventional balancing machines by measuring additional parameters such as radial force variation, eccentricity and lateral forces.
Features Snap-on EEWB336AEA diagnostic balancing machine
Detects dynamic imbalance (height stroke)
Balances pitch without removing tire from wheel
Detects lateral imbalance (lateral unbalance)
Recognizes tire/wheel mounting anomalies
Measures and compensates for form deviations
Locates hairline cracks/damage
Identifies asymmetric wear patterns
Detects uneven weight distribution in the rim
Traces hidden imbalance due to old paste lead residue
Detects high-speed vibrations (harmonic vibrations)
Automatic spoke detection
The Snap-on EEWB336AEA fully automatic balancing machine detects rim diameter, wheel distance and weight type without manual input. This makes balancing not only faster, but also more accurate and reliable. Thanks to advanced technologies such as automatic spoke detection, radial force measurement and height stroke analysis, even the smallest imbalance is detected and corrected.
User-friendly and practical balancing
With intelligent features such as smartSonar, easyWeight and QuickBAL, the EEWB336AEA balances more efficiently than ever. The machine automatically scans the rim width, indicates the exact correct weight position via laser and optimizes the number of revolutions per wheel. This prevents errors, saves time and increases accuracy.
An important feature of the EEWB336AEA is that the machine can balance (eliminate) height deflection without having to unload the tire from wheel and rotate it relative to the wheel. This saves considerable time. The Power Clamp provides constant clamping force, ensuring wheels are always perfectly secured for repeatable and precise measurements.
The intuitive touchscreen and bright LED lighting make the EEWB336AEA easy to operate, even during heavy use. Weights can be neatly hidden behind the spokes with Split Weight Mode, preserving the appearance of the rim. Reports can be printed directly or saved as PDFs. In short, this machine is a must-have for workshops that want to combine quality and speed in their wheel service.
The touchscreen interface makes operation quick and easy. Thanks to large symbols and colored position indicators, you can see at a glance where to place the weights. This not only increases speed and accuracy, but also ease of use and ergonomics for daily intensive use.
In addition, the machine offers extensive reporting capabilities. Results can be printed directly over the network or saved as PDFs, so you always have a clear overview of the work performed.
If you recognize one or more of the imbalance problems listed below, the Snap-on diagnostic balancer can fix it.
Common causes of imbalance
Dynamic imbalance – This occurs when weight is unevenly distributed on the axis of rotation, causing vibration at higher speeds. Only a diagnostic wheel balancer can measure and correct this complex imbalance.
Lateral imbalance (conicity/side force variation) – An anomaly where the wheel generates a side force, causing the vehicle to pull to one side. This can only be accurately measured and compensated with an advanced wheel balancer.
Force variation (radial force variation) – This refers to uneven tire stiffness that causes vibration even when the wheel is statically balanced. A diagnostic balancer can detect this and indicate where best to reposition the tire and rim.
Match-mounting problems – Some tires and rims have small tolerances in manufacturing that lead to vibration. A diagnostic wheel balancer helps correctly align the heaviest spot of the tire with the lightest spot of the rim to minimize vibration.
Problems with distorted or eccentric rims/tires – Even a new wheel may have slight eccentricity. A standard balancer will not detect this, but a diagnostic balancer can measure and compensate for small deviations in round shape.
Hairline cracks or internal tire damage – Some vibration problems come from internal defects in the tire, such as broken ply layers. A diagnostic wheel balancer with a force measurement function can identify this.
Asymmetrical wear patterns – Poor alignment or uneven wear can cause vibrations that an ordinary balancer does not recognize. An advanced balancer can detect these patterns and indicate whether further corrections are needed.
Uneven weight distribution in the rim – Some rims have hidden manufacturing defects that cause imbalance. A diagnostic wheel balancer can determine the exact location and counterweight required.
Hidden imbalance due to old adhesive lead residue – Old or misplaced balancing leads can cause imbalance. A diagnostic balancer detects abnormalities and indicates where corrections are needed.
High speed vibrations (harmonic vibrations) – Some vibrations are noticeable only at specific speeds and frequencies. A diagnostic wheel balancer can simulate these vibrations and calculate appropriate corrections.
Designed for professionals who want highly accurate balancing, the Snap-on EEWB336AEA is the perfect choice to maximize workshop wheel service productivity and profits.
