How to maintain wheel balancing machine?

The maintenance of the wheel balancer is the key to ensure its long-term stable operation and accurate measurement. The following are some specific maintenance measures:


First, daily cleaning

1. Machine cleaning: regularly clean the whole surface of the balancing machine, including the guide rail surface, supporting frame and other parts, to prevent dust and dirt accumulation affecting the operation of the equipment.

2. Roller and support block cleaning: roller and support block is the part of the balancing machine in direct contact with the tire, should be regularly checked and cleaned to ensure that there is no iron debris, dust and other debris adhesion. Before each operation, wipe the roller and rotor journal, and add a small amount of lubricating oil.

3. Photoelectric head cleaning: For the automatic balancing machine, the lens glass of the photoelectric head should often wipe the outer surface of the lens with mirror wiping paper or mirror wiping cloth to keep it clean and avoid oil adhesion.


Second, lubrication and inspection

1. Lubrication maintenance: Parts of guide rail surface, support block, roller and other parts that need lubrication should be regularly coated with oil to prevent rust and maintain good lubrication. Before each shift is used, an appropriate amount of oil should be added to the lubrication, and the butter should be cleaned and changed once a year in the case of a shift system.

2. Check the locking device: ensure that the locking mechanism can reliably lock the swing frame, and release it should completely leave the swinging part. The swing frame should only be loosened during measurement, and the rest of the time should be locked, and the wheel frame should not be moved when locked.

3. Check the transmission device: regularly check the wear of the belt disc, belt guide wheel and belt to ensure that the belt is kept in the center position of the guide wheel during operation, adjust the tightness of the belt, and avoid slipping.


Third, professional maintenance

1. Regular calibration: The balancing machine requires calibration at least once a year to meet the accuracy of daily use. Long-term no calibration will cause the balancing machine test data is not true, affecting the balance effect.

2. Electrical system maintenance: Keep the electrical box clean and prevent moisture. Check the connection cables and plugs of the electrical system regularly for loosening or damage to ensure the normal operation of the electrical system.

3. Professional maintenance: When the balancing machine fails or is abnormal, the power supply should be cut off in time and the professional maintenance team should be notified for maintenance. Do not disassemble or repair the equipment yourself to avoid greater damage or safety risks.


Fourth, operation precautions

1. Standard operation: Operate the balancing machine correctly according to the instruction manual to avoid damage to the equipment caused by improper operation.

2. Avoid impact: When moving the support frame, the left and right support frame should be moved at the same speed to avoid scratches and wear on the surface of the journal and roller. It is not permitted to place the rotor on the roller frame for striking or bumping.

3. Environmental adaptability: pay attention to the impact of seasonal changes on the equipment, such as when the temperature is low in winter, the computer system occasionally starts slowly, which is a normal phenomenon, and does not affect the normal use of the balancing machine.


To sum up, the maintenance of the wheel balancing machine needs to start from many aspects such as daily cleaning, lubrication and inspection, professional maintenance and operational precautions to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition, extend its service life and improve the measurement accuracy.
